I was rather surprised that Microsoft actually made a client for Windows Live Mesh for Mac OSX Snow Leopard! This is especially surprising since Ubuntu One is Ubuntu only. At least Dropbox lets me synchronize across all platforms. Previously I was using MacFUSE/FUSE Userland sshfs mounting for my Dreamhost backup space. It is too bad that with the puny upload speeds Cox and other U.S. providers have, I would never be able to really use the 50GB at Dreamhost.
2GB Free – Dropbox – Mac OSX, Linux, Windows
5GB Free – Windows Live Mesh – Windows & Mac OSX, however the icon stays in the dock which is rather annoying. The menubar icon is the control for Mesh, so the dock icon is extraneous.
2GB Free – Ubuntu One – Ubuntu (As far as I can tell), but integrated with Ubuntu 9.10+’s file manager. Since I was reformatting my laptop quite often, this let me save important things such as bookmarks or how to get the proprietary Nvidia drivers to work with the Xorg.conf.
I have to say that I am pretty disappointed in how the level of control available within Ubtuntu 9.10 is in the release candidate. It is more glossy, but I no longer have an easy config for remote connections so I can open another X display and connect while my roommate is using the laptop.
