Can I Transfer Files Between My
Mac and PC Using Cloud Storage?
Posted by Polina Polishchuk
Q: I need to share files between two platforms, my Mac and PC. Which cloud storage services can do this?
A: Other than being able to backup and access all of your files online, the best thing about cloud storage is the ability to sync and share your files across all of your computers. Thankfully, those users who have both a Mac and a PC can partake in the syncing fun. For example, MyPCBackup, JustCloud and ZipCloud all install a special folder onto your computer called the "sync folder." Install the program on each of your computers, regardless if it's a Mac or PC, and drag and drop the files that you want to have access to on both. Now every time you make changes to any file in the sync folder, the change will show up on each of your computers.
SugarSync also has one of our favorite interfaces for syncing files across your computers. In fact, the tutorial below will show you how to use SugarSync to share files between a Mac and PC, or vice versa when you click the PC link within the video:

JustCloud sucks. Rude peolple who know nothing, and cannot sell you (a premium subscriber) how to buy the faster speed option as they do not know anything about it OR HOW MUCH FASTER IT IS. Selling holy water or dunnage.
What pathetic moles. Stay away!

We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience with JustCloud; however, as far as we know, there is only one version of the service, and the speed of backup really just depends on your computer and how many files you are backing up. We also had a good experience with JustCloud's customer support. Perhaps another cloud storage service will work better for you.
