What Services will Backup my Computer and Allow me to Privately Share Files?
Posted by Polina
Q: I need a service that will backup my computer and that also allows me to give clients unique passwords for documents I share with them. I currently use an external drive and send clients their work, but would like to start doing this in the cloud.
A: There are a couple of cloud storage services that will do all of these things for you. SpiderOak, which puts extra emphasis on security, is one of the services that does file sharing best. SpiderOak uses password-protected share rooms to help you share your files. Only the people you want to give access to your data can view or download your shared files through a password of your choosing and each share room has its own private, secure URL so you can easily share them with only the people you want. Thus, any file you backup through SpiderOak can be securely shared. Read the full SpiderOak review here! And SugarSync, another 5-star cloud storage and backup service, also allows password-protected sharing. Now all you have to do is choose the service you like best, which should be pretty simple with our handy cloud storage comparison chart.

One other cloud-based solution is SyncBlaze which will be offered via resellers. The solution looks impressive as they have more features and files can be shared privately along with specific permission settings. One can invite any number of people in their account to access the file by specifying permission rights.
