SugarSync is a spectacular online storage service. Combining powerful features, valuable plans, and overall versatility, this service earns our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award as the best online storage solution available. It's compelling, complete with the ability to store, share and synchronize your files online.

Feature Set:

Your files are continuously synced and backed up to your SugarSync account the moment you upload them. When you edit your files, your changed are backed up. Since your files are stored online, restoring them following data loss is effortless. This service also makes the previous five versions of every file available without you having to take any action. Photos uploaded to your SugarSync account are organized into photo albums, making this service a service for both backing up and sharing your files.

If the computer you’re using has a web browser, you can sync changes to your files with the WebSync option in your personal SugarSync website. This service syncs changes to your other devices once you’re done editing files. This service eliminated the need to setup a home network because it allows you to sync files with all devices. You can even sync files to offline computers. Once they’re online, the changes you made will sync.

With SugarSync Mobile (available on Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Symbian and Blackberry devices), camera phone pictures are synced to your computer. Your music files are available for streaming and listening without you having to download them.

SugarSync is great at sharing files too. Turn files into public links and post your content online or email it to your friends. The recipients will get a direct, secure download link to your file. Registration isn’t required to download these files. You can disable the links at any time or see how many times they’ve been downloaded. Your folders can be shared too using the “Share Folder” link located at the top of each folder. People who have access to these folders can change your files, but this service keeps track of every change.

Security:

The file uploading process is Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted, the standard for secure web communications, and files stored are protected using 128-bit AES technology, a level of security banks commonly use. These two technologies combine to prevent your data from falling victim to identity thieves or other individuals trying to steal data. All files are stored and backed up in multiple data centers to ensure you can still access your files when one of their data centers goes down. Downloaded files have to live up to the same standards as other files. They're subjected to the same rigorous security protocols to guarantee you're the only one who has look at the file in the journey from their servers to your hard drive.

Storage Space/Price:

This service offers 30, 60, 100 and 250 GB plans supporting 3,000 to 25,000 documents, 6,000 to 40,000 photos and 6,000 to 30,000 songs. A 500 GB plan is available for users who need more storage. You have the option to pay monthly or yearly fees for these plans. Business users can sign-up for their SugarSync for Business plan, which offers 100 GB for up to three users with the option to add more users and storage if needed.

Ease of Use:

Using the features in SugarSync and navigating through its interface is painless. We had no problems syncing sharing and storing our files. Being able to access files online is much easier than having to email them to yourself. Plus, you can email files of any size without having to worry about size restrictions. SugarSync is effective in making files available to multiple computers. In fact, it’s easier to setup than a home network

Sharpcast offers its SugarSync users a variety of customer service options. The software itself has embedded help resources. On their website, they offer user forums, a quick start and user’s guide and step-by-step video and text tutorials. If your still have questions after perusing those resources, you can contact them with an email or through their live chat support system. Sharpcast charges an additional monthly fee for unlimited telephone support.

Sharpcast’s customer service options are adequate. Their resources are useful and cover a good deal of information. We also liked how quickly their customer service representatives responded. However, we would like them to offer free, unlimited telephone support.

SugarSync is a great way to store, share, and mobilize your files and data. It is a comprehensive solution for online storage, online file sharing and collaboration and multiple computer syncing.
