SugarSync - Online Storage Solution

So last week I reviewed Dropbox as a quick and easy way to store and sync your valuable files to protect yourself from losing your data. I have since found out about another online storage website call SugarSync, so I thought I would check it out.

I thought Dropbox was good - turns out SugarSync is even better :)

It is just as easy to use as Dropbox AND has more functionality. The online set up guides are really easy to follow so even those who have never used a service like this before should have no issues setting one up! SugarSync has some distinct advantages over DropBox:

• Sugarsync offers 5GB of free storage vs. DropBox's 2GB


• SugarSync allows you to select which folders on your computer you want to sync vs. DropBox providing a specific "DropBox" folder


• SugarSync offers the ability to email a file to your SugarSync account (not offered on DropBox)


• SugarSync offers the ability to edit your files online using a service called websync - handy if you are away from your normal computer


• In addition to iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, and Android mobile versions SugarSync also works on Windows Mobile and Symbian devices


• With referral bonuses you can earn up to 10GB of free online storage with Sugarsync vs DropBox's 5GB

And there you have it - definitely a worthwhile service for any student! If you are interested check it out for free! By clicking this link you will be taken to a referral page where you can sign up and receive a bonus 500MB of data - then use the "Get Free Storage" option to recommend to your friends and family to get more bonuses (they get bonuses too so it is win-win!)

I haven't written up any how to guides here for this service as there is lots of information available on the SugarSync website including videos!
