Accordingly, you hereby grant to SugarSync a license: (i) to use, copy, transmit, distribute, store and cache Files that you choose to sync and/or store; and (ii) to copy, transmit, publish, and distribute to others the Files as you designate, whether through the sharing or public linking features of the Service, in each case solely to provide the Service to you." I don't see this as giving them rights do use your data other than as necessary to provide the service to you. They have changed this in their current terms:

I would like to mention though, that by using SugarSync to back up your data, you grant them a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license of your files.

You say, "Files are saved in a folder" - with DropBox, this is true. Files must be saved in a specific location. But with SugarSync, any file can be flagged to be sync'd amongst your multiple devices. Other than that minor point, great review of the two services. I just wanted to chime in on one point.
