Data Manager SpiderOak 3.0

 SpiderOak 3.0 is a free (first 2GB) online data manager designed to work with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its new Sync application lets those with multiple computers sync their data among different operating systems. For Mac and Linux users, and people concerned with privacy, these changes are excellent news.

The software is cloud-based, offering a central storage repository instead of an online backup option. Instead of simply saving a second copy of files, SpiderOak 3.0 keeps your files updated constantly, so you can access them from multiple computers or on the SpiderOak.com Web site. With Version 3.0, files on one computer are automatically changed on the others, so you can use it as a virtual personal network, sharing files among numerous machines and platforms without having to e-mail files or save them to a backup device.

Price: $10 per month (per 100GB of storage); first 2GB is free
