The first question someone is likely to ask about Trend Micro's recently updated SafeSync for Business is a simple one: "How does this compare with Dropbox?," the service that has come to define cloud-based storage for many of us. The answer is: favorably, since SafeSync now combines Dropbox ease-of-use with power-user sync features.
