Definitely in the Groove!!! We use it at my company for project management for customers and such, as well I use it personally similar to how you mentioned for syncing files. I have my desktop, tablet and UMPC all set up with groove so that I always have the files I need on the go! If you set up integration with MOSS, it rocks even more! As soon as I saw this on the early beta, I had to take it back to the company and convince them to get involved all the way with it. Now it is a standard product.

Yep, I've done a number of projects using Groove and the integration with MOSS works a treat for giving you offline access to sharepoint documents. The trick is to include a "server" user that is the one that syncs with sharepoint (that way you aren't dependent on any particular user to be online). Other than building applications that integrate into Outlook, Groove could quite easily be the occasionally connected application platform of choice for developers. AFAIK Groove has a nicer integration model than the over-weight Outlook does. That said there are more people doing Outlook development, and more people using it - by integrating into Outlook you reduce the context switching users have to do.

We have SharePoint and Groove, but I haven't tried to figure it out. I have wondered if I have much use for it, since I author/edit docs on SharePoint maybe 3 times a year.

I like Groove and we've used it successfully for work-related team collaboration (especially when dealing with a larger number of client collaborators that can't/shouldn't have such access to your SharePoint site).

I've found though for my personal sync'ing needs between three laptops and two desktops FolderShare (www.FolderShare.com) is far better, more stable (for simple needs) and much easier to configure.

I blogged about it here by the way:

... oh, and it was also bought by Microsoft.
