In addition it has powerful browse function that allow you to browse remote folder, play slideshow or play music instantly even before you decide to download/sync.
It even has built-in vnc allow you to remote control your computer orcollaborate with your friends.
It is tiny(1.8MB) but very powerful and easy to use. Need a google id to run,
only has windows version though.
good luck!
