NextAdvisor reviews SugarSync online backup

Posted by kent on September 29th, 2009

We've just added another review to our online backup service comparisons. SugarSync is a novel entry to the field, a product that really moves online backup to the next level. Sporting a variety of innovative features, SugarSync is actually fun to use. In most ways it works like other online backup services, uploading your changed files to a data cloud, making sure they're available to you anytime, anywhere.

But SugarSync is more inspired than that. Keeping your files in a cloud has all kinds of potential benefits, and SugarSync takes advantage of them. You can stream your stored music to any computer, or even a handheld device like an iPhone. You can sync data from multiple computers no matter where they are or what kind they are (PC or MAC). You can share your files too. While a lot of online backup service providers do this, SugarSync makes it very easy and very configurable, making it the perfect tool for those who collaborate on projects from remote locations.

Check out our full review and see how SugarSync compares to other online backup service providers.
