Sync your Mac with your Android and iOS devices with ease
Syncing devices other than Apple products with a Mac can be a problem. SyncMate, however, allows Mac users to sync Android devices, other Macs, USB drives, and online accounts easily.
Two delicious flavors
SyncMate is offered in two editions - Free and Expert. SyncMate Free lets you sync your contacts and calendar between your Mac and supported devices/accounts. It can do all of this in the background, and allows data to be shared with Android, iOS, and cloud services.
Expert Edition offers significantly more options, allowing you to sync images, videos, music, bookmarks, SMS, calls, reminders, and other useful options between the previously listed compatitible devices. That said, do note that sync options differ between supported devices and accounts, so check out the handy compatibility list that is available on the SyncMate site.
Along with the free background sync option, SyncMate Expert also offers an AutoSync option. This lets you set various parameters for when you automatically sync devices.
Easily organize yourself
The Expert version also syncs folders between your Mac and mounted storage devices, or other Macs, in real time. So, when you change any data on your Mac or connected device, it will be synced immediately.
You can also create, send, delete, search, and export text messages from your Android or iOS device on your desktop.
SyncMate Expert allows you to convert videos to AVI, MPG, MP4, WMV, ASF, or 3GP, and audio files to MP3 and WAV prior to syncing them to device. The Sync process can be performed via USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet depending on the synced device.
All together now
All in all, SyncMate is an excellent tool to synchronize your Mac with any Android and iOS device, as well as offering multiple other options to conveniently organize your data between USB and cloud storage.
User reviews about SyncMate

This is a useless application on the Mac. Doesn't sync on file change only according to time interval, and is very, very slow if file is in a large folder. You cannot find out this limitation from the trial version as it doesn't include file syncing capability, and the information is not contained on the website. A waster of money, and like others have found, they DO NOT give refunds. AVOID this product. Goodsync is much better although I do not like its new subscription model. I'm reinstalling V10 which has a life license. More

NEVER BUY FROM ELTIMA. NO REFUNDS.The software was an utter failure at its supposed purpose, and it mangled my computer to such an extent I had to boot it up from an emergency disk and spend hours picking out the bits of garbage they installed and deleting them.
In this case, I was trying to sync and transfer music files between a Mac and an Android-based music player. I installed the free version of the software on my Mac, and it only did a limited number of things, none of which were what I wanted it to do. So I paid, via PayPal, for the Expert edition of the software and installed it. It was a disaster. This Expert package installed pieces of itself all over my operating system, without including an uninstall routine.
The new software immediately upon launch began to play havoc with my machine, turning the monitor on and off in a rapid fashion without pause. When I managed to get that calmed down (though the monitor image was crazily askew), I tried to sync the computer with the music player in all three ways on offer (USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth). IN ALL CASES THE SOFTWARE FAILED to sync the music player and computer. Nothing I tried worked. Just kept getting error messages. When all their garbage was off my computer, it went back to normal operation.

Do not buy!!.
THIS SOFTWARE IS TERRIBLE. It locked up on my Mac and they will not offer a refund. Their software is apparently designed to generate an activity log after the sync is complete, but of course no log is generated when the software locks up your system. They then say too bad, no refund for you. I had this problem within an hour of downloading their software and request a refund 65 minutes after purchase. I strongly recommend finding a different option. Eltima software is unhelpful. Once they have your money they couldn't care less about your problems with their software.DO NOT BUY!!!!
Cons:
Software locks up on a Mac
No customer service whatsoever More
