unnecessary "cleanup"
Someone ( Hm2k ) has deleted CleanSync and other items in Revision as of 21:06, 10 May 2010

system requirements
It should be useful to list also system requirements of compared software , because it has impact on performance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.195.191.96 (talk) 11:29, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
wrong license type
Some items requests license agreements other than listed in the table ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.55.255.41 (talk) 10:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Three tables?!
I really don't understand this format. Like people only did care about certain features if tool is proprietary. They should be compared altogether, with the Licence as a column.
Having two tables would be useful if we want to split: general information, more important features, less important features.
And a column for "Paid version" is almost a joke. If there is no paid version available, I guess the software has no interest at all. --LQST (talk) 15:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Missing explanation
There are some software not made to work in Linux enviroments. I created a hypothesis: can a Windows laptop access a Linux shared partition (using Samba), and sync it's content, thanks to a Windows aplication that doesn't work in Linux? Can this sort of solution work? Or is it necessary to have the aplication installed in both machines? The answer to this could be put in the reference item. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.26.169.85 (talk) 11:15, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Ambiguity
Does anyone else find the columns "Windows", "Mac OS X", "Linux", and "Other OS" ambiguous? For example, does it mean the application runs on those operating system platforms, or does it mean it just supports synchronizing with their filesystems?
Also, I don't understand why the commercial comparison chart has columns for both "Prior file versions, revision control" and "Restore replaced/deleted files from old versions." Isn't that the same feature? Even more confusing is that almost every piece of software says it can do revision control, but it also says it *can't* restore old files. I don't understand how that can be... isn't the whole point of revision control to be able to restore older versions? They're the same thing! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
