Well this changed recently when I started using Dropbox again. I had forgotten how simple and effective it is to use. Making syncing files between the Mac and PC very easy and painless. More effective then using the iPhone, making it one of my used daily apps.

Pricing goes as high as US$20 per month for 100GB but for your average user, the free Basic account with 2GB of storage would be more than enough.

Not long ago I wrote an entry about My Memova, a free calendar sync web app. It is primarily a contacts backup and syncing application, main benefit being it is free. It is also very simple to use and setup on the device – in this instance, an iPhone. I still think this is a great web app, however this week I set myself up with Google mobile sync and personally think it is fantastic!

It comes into a class of its own if you are running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.6) as you can set it up in iTunes to sync with your Gmail contacts. Once you have done this you only need to set up the exchange server on your handset. In my instance I am only using it for my contacts and calendar (which now replaces the My Memova setup). My email is IMAP on the device using Gmail (as I have recently given Google Apps away as no longer needed).

Enabling Push data access on the device ensures your contacts are synced at all times and now means I have one set of contacts, backed up in 3 seperate locations. I can also edit my contacts on any device or App and they are automatically updated on the other. Something I have been after for a while now.

Supporting most popular devices, you can’t go past this as an essential contact management tool.
