SugarSync Review

If you define that term to include file sync across all your computers and mobile devices, online backup, online file access and file sharing, you might just be in luck.

SugarSync is an online service and it sounds like they almost do it all. It was released in 2008 and has been gaining a lot of users. It sounds like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I no longer use SugarSync, but I will give you some details and observations from when I did.

Here's the quick list of what SugarSync offers-

Backup - Yes, it will keep your files safe. SugarSync has a totally automatic backup of selected folders and files.

Versioning- Yes, the service keeps up to 5 versions of your files so that you can access a previous version if you need to.

Storage/Archive - Yes, use the "Web Archive" to keep files stored "forever. The web archive capability sets SugarSync apart from anyone else that I've seen so far.

Sync - Yes, Online and Offline and works in near real-time, in seconds.

The 2GB free account plan allows you to use SugarSync across 3 computers and any of the paid plans offer unlimited sync across as many computers as you have. They also provide a 30 day money back guarantee so you can test it out for yourself.

File Sharing - Yes, and you can share with a single person, or groups, with multiple file and folder access permissions for workgroup functionality.

Remote Access - Yes, you can get your files if you have an Internet connection. Whether you are using the SugarSync client application or a Web Browser.

Mobile Access - Yes, If your phone or other Internet Appliance can bring up a web browser, you can get to your files.

SugarSync speaks iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile - and all the clients are free to download. How cool is that?

Photo Albums and Music Streaming - Can't wait to share your most recent photos with family and friends? Now you can do it easily, from anywhere!

I talked about the free 2GB SugarSync account earlier. That's great if you only need a little space or three devices to sync. If you need more space or you have more computers to sync (unlimited), they offer 4 other plans. 30GB is $49.99/Year, 60GB is $99.99/Year, 100GB is $149.99/Year, and 250GB is $249.99/Year. Check their site for updated pricing information.
