SugarSync Review

Summary:

SugarSync is an online cloud syncing service that uses desktop software to manage synced files over their cloud infrastructure. They have been around since 2004 but started to have a lot of growth in 2009. Their strength is in their easy to use, robust syncing platform that keeps all of your files easy to find and synced.

SugarSync differs from competitors like Dropbox and Google Drive because of the way they manage synced files. Those other syncing companies use a single sync folder to house all of the files in one place. Meaning, you will have to duplicate or move files you want to sync to that folder. SugarSync’s interface allows you to select any file or folder on your computer to sync.
