Sync Your Multimedia or Back It Up
HTC Sync is a free multimedia syncing application. Whether it's on your phone or desktop or even whether it's on Android or iPhone HTC Sync provides a touch of the cloud storage everybody keeps talking about and uses it to let you keep your music and photos wherever you go... or make sure they're never lost in the future.
Saved and Sourced
The file space provided by HTC Sync has a dual purpose. It allows for file backups of course as any cloud storage solution does. But it also allows for playback of music videos and other media on each device that's synced. This makes it a powerful tool for having files on your PC and your phone intermingle. Or another use case: sync multiple family members' phones on one account to allow for greater flexibility in the family's use of multimedia. Past that it also can sync contacts bookmarks and other metadata which is useful for moving phones or keeping organized.
Filed to Greatness
Unfortunately HTC Sync doesn't make it easy to preview even simple text files. But the focus here is on multimedia. For that and for keeping the backups that'll ensure you don't lose any multimedia it is great. Because it's an offering from a company that also acts as a phone vendor it's complemented well by some of HTC's other software tools but is useful on its own too.

Totally unreliable software!.
This is a really horrible piece of software. Most of the time it just doesn't recognise my HTC phone. Very occasionally it will synch, but it is totally unreliable.
Pros:
The few occasions when it actually works!
Cons:
Reliability! More

Sync manager is buggy and can prove difficult to use more often than not. .
Absolutely horrible. The program is buggy and the interface is far from smooth and orderly which makes it difficult to get things done in an efficient manner. I've had plenty of problems with this program that simply shouldn't exist such as when the program cannot recognize the phone connected to it. I had to manually install the apk files onto the phone just to get it to pop up correctly.
It could be good possibly but so far I'm not impressed. I'd rather manually plug whatever files I want into my phone than use this and sadly I have never had such issues when I was using iTunes to sync my phone data.
Cons:
Sync sometimes doesn't recognize the phone.
Interface is basic.
Easier to manually plug in files onto the phone itself than it is to sync it through this program More

HTC Sync 3.0.5617 for Htc Evo 3D (SPRINT) | 01.31.2012.
I just loaded the latest version of <taglink type=program country=en id=300491>HTC sync</taglink> software released on 1/31/12. I now get a PIM Error 2013 when syncing Outlook 2010 calendar with my HTC People. (It would be nice if at least there was a file with error codes and explanations)
I also get replications of names on a random basis each time I attempt to sync. Extremely frustrating and there is no automated process for eliminating duplicates. Am I unique with this problem - there appears to be a trend since had similar problem with calendar syncs earlier today. More

Letting the team down..
Come on guys, stop trying to fix what's not worth fixing! You manufacture some of the best phones in the world, but what should be a simple and user friendly app', is letting your company and your end users down. Scrap it and utilize one of the professional software developers out there who know what they're doing! Please, before you lose what you have worked so hard to build! I love my HTC Wildfire, but am considering trying another brand at my next update! More

HTC Sync.
This program is utterly worthless. Doesn't do a damned thing. Just trying to move pictures and video from my phone to my computer. You'd figure that would be simple for a "Smartphone" right? Nope. Only way is to email each and every photo to myself and that's when the phones email program is working. Can't move videos at all since they are too big.
Waiting for my contract to expire so I can switch.
Pros:
NONE
Cons:
See scathing review above More
