So if you have a lot of family/friends, a large facebook following or popular blog, you can easily earn many Gigabytes of free space on all three services, but SpiderOak and SugarSync definitely have the advantage over Dropbox.Īs for paid plans, Dropbox is $9.99/month for 50GB of space and $19.99 for 100GB. SugarSync offers 500MB per referral, up to 750MB in other free space, and no limit to the amount of free referral space you can earn.
SpiderOak offers 1GB per referral, with a 50GB limit to how much free space you can earn. Dropbox offers 250MB per referral, up to 8GB in total (500MB & 16GB if you use a student email address). SugarSync recently upped the ante and now offers 5GB of free backup. SpiderOak is more similar to SugarSync than Dropbox in that it too let’s you choose what files and folders to backup/sync, rather than just creating one folder.īoth Dropbox and Spideroak offer 2GB of free backup. SpiderOak is therefore a bit better than Dropbox/SugarSync if you have a large amount of data that you want to backup, in addition to just some files that you want to sync. SpiderOak, in addition to offering similar sync and remote access options like Dropbox & SugarSync, also offers automated backup of your entire computer. SugarSync also works in real-time and keeps any and all changes instantly backed up and synced. Otherwise they offer the same mobile apps and computer software (though no version of Linux is currently available). SugarSync is very similar to Dropbox, except that you can select multiple folders that you want to sync and backup. You don’t have to schedule backups throughout the day and worry that if your computer crashes you might not have all your data backed up. In addition to being very convenient for syncing and remote access, it is a great online backup tool in that the instant you make a change, that change is backed up and synced.
Any changes you make on any device or computer will instantly sync to the other devices. Anything you put in this folder will be accessible via a dropbox mobile app (available for iOS, Android & Blackberry), the dropbox website, or any other computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) that you install the dropbox software and sign in. You can create this folder anywhere (in ‘My Documents’, on your desktop, etc…). With DropBox, you essentially have one ‘dropbox’ folder on your computer. SpiderOak, Dropbox & SugarSync are great at syncing your data and allowing access anywhere, anytime. In addition to simply backing up all your files (with a service like Mozy, Carbonite or BackBlaze), many people want to be able to sync files across their multiple computers, whether it be home and office, desktop and laptop, etc… They also want to be able to easily access their files from any device, anywhere in the world.
