A file sync is most useful when I can use my PC to browse my WEBOS device like I do in Internalz, and can copy, move and delete files on my WebOS through my PC. If all a file sync does is sync two folders its almost useless. I bet palm still lacks API for that, hopefully something come with web OS 2.0.
Most of these wifi apps one cant select an entire folder on the phone to sync with PC, has to be individual files on phone. For eg: If I want to back up my photo's on pre, I have to individually select each photos, instead of selecting the entire folder. Probably blame this on API's as well, not sure.
Yeah, it's not worth it until you can at least select entire folders.
