Yes, a mobile version is in the works.

this thread seems much more active than this one
http://forums.macnn.com/82/applicati...x/#post3737483
but I'm sure some of the dropbox users (or potential users) would like to try out sugarsync and decide for themselves which they like better.

at the moment, my vote is for free (dropbox)

Has anyone upgraded to the 50G, $99 per year service on Dropbox?

No, but it works just the same as the 2 GB free service.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Trouble is, I don't want to keep 2G here, 5G there.

Yes, I have. I use dropbox to share files with:

1. Myself. Home and work are synced. I can work from bed if I feel like it.
2. Suppliers. Right now I am working on a project with a web development company. All files needed for the project are in a shared folder.
3. Friends. I produce a podcast with a friend. All music files and sound effects are in drop box.
4. Co-workers. We use drop box as a virtual server, allowing all of us to work from wherever we happen to be.
5. Backup. Because dropbox creates multiple versions of the same file there is instant, offline and online, backup.
6. Clients. Dropbox makes final file delivery a snap.

Drop box, for me, is one of the most useful products ever to hit the net. I don't think I'll ever go back to working any other way.
It is not the first product of its kind, but it just works, across all platforms.

Yes; I use it for mostly for personal documents and photos, but also for S3 backed content mirroring for some FOSS projects.

Shameless plug: Dropbox now added a referral program for 250/500MB free space for both the user and referral.
Clicky for 250 megs free additional space if you planned to register anyway.

Also, how cute is this:
