Recommendations to others considering SugarSync:
Download speeds were ridiculously slow. I calculate at 2.5 to 4 mbps (that's bits, not Bytes. bits = 8 X Bytes) on Charter's high speed internet rated at 60 mbps download / 4 mbps upload. I tested over a couple different days at different times and it took from 20 to 35 minutes to download a 608 MB file. Upload speeds were slow but in the acceptable range - 32 minutes for this file = 2.5 mbps. On OneDrive, it downloaded at a rate of 20 to 30 mbps (2.5 to 3.5 minutes for the same 608 MB file.)

What problems is SugarSync solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, the SugarSync vs Dropbox question depends on your personal needs and uses. If you only use your computer(s) and always connected devices like your phone or you have a tablet with 3G access, you can go with either. If you need synced and downloaded files at all times on a device like a tablet that does not have internet access, or if you travel a lot and don't always have internet access, I'd use SugarSync. If pushed to pick one or the other, I'd pick SugarSync because of the offline access (really, it's a dealbreaker for me) and the additional free storage space.
