SugarSync vs. Dropbox

By Jonah A. Raykers


If you are considering data syncing providers the two major services to look at first and foremost, SugarSync and Dropbox.

Each of these services offer great way of conveniently syncing computer files across all of your computers, smartphones, and tablets.

You merely set up their software program on the computers and handheld devices.

The software runs in the background backing up your vital data files whilst you work on your computer or device. As an example, you could start altering a document in your office, on your personal computer, and finish it back at home on a mac.

Also, you will be able to work on computer files offline while having the edits promptly synced the next time you're on the web. So, it's possible for you to always be the newest set of your own documents, wherever you may be or which computer you're working with.

Both of These Service Providers Include: File backup/sync and retrieval, File changes synced in real-time, File versioning, Sync shared folders, Access your files from internet browsers, Support for XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OSX, Support for Apple iPad, Apple iPhone, Blackberry smart phone, Android, and mobile websites, Send out computer files of any size

We have no reason to advise against utilizing one or both of these online backup services, but there are a handful of reasons we opt for SugarSync.

You Are Able Sync Any Existing Folder

With SugarSync you are able to sync any existing folder you would like to, this means you won't have to alter the way you utilize your computer system. Dropbox will give you merely one, therefore you have to drag any other folders into it. And it is undeniably a drag.

More Free Space For Storage

Should you be looking for a free of charge plan, then SugarSync gives a whole lot more space for your files when compared to Dropbox. SugarSync will provide 5GB, while Dropbox will give you just 2GB.

SugarSync's Mobile- How Sweet It Is

SugarSync offers you a multitude of excellent mobile options. No other online backup service that we tested addresses the mobile aspect of syncing more effectively. From the end user software (simplicity of use), to the features, to reliability, SugarSync is the undisputed mobile syncing winner.

The following are just some popular features of SugarSync's Mobile offering: You will be able to Backup/sync entire folders to your mobile device - You can access these anywhere you want to, when you're on the Internet or off. You can Share your folders with anybody, using just your own mobile phone. SugarSync, through its own Android app, has the ability to automatically sync each of the photos you take with an Android digital camera. You simply take a photo and it will be automatically synced to every one of your devices.

Support

Dropbox doesn't provide you with Live Chat or Telephone Support. SugarSync offers you both.

Here is a list of few more items that SugarSync provides you with that Dropbox doesn't: File Sharing Permissions, Upload Your Photos to Facebook, Online Database Backup, Sync Upload Through Your own E-mail, Sub-Accounts, Geo-Redundant Data Facilities

SugarSync does not work on the Linux Operating System.

All set to Change from Dropbox to SugarSync? It's really easy. All you do is sync your Dropbox file folder utilizing SugarSync's program. You're done!

Conclusions

Well, it should be based on options and affordability. With SugarSync, you are given a lot of great capabilities, however it is more expensive when compared with Dropbox.

Dropbox provides a easier to use but less hearty service at a smaller price.

If you are syncing only your own computer systems for your personal use, then Dropbox is likely to be the right choice for you.

And if you own a smartphone and/or a tablet, need to share your data or photos with family, friends, or coworkers, or you will need to automatically back-up all those Android camera photographs whenever you shoot them, then you certainly will want to consider SugarSync.

Should you simply desire some free storage space, or if perhaps it is your first time working with an on-line backup/sync program, I would recommend choosing SugarSync. They give you 5GB of storage, lots of capabilities, the syncing service is really fast and dependable, and you can backup/sync any existing folder on your computer.
