SugarSync To The Rescue

- Matt Faulkner

sugarsync_tree A while back I was was e-mailed an opportunity for a SugarSync account.  I accepted the offer so I could test out that system since I had been trying other sync applications already.  So far, I have really liked this sync solution.  I have it on my Lenovo x61, the old Dell home computer and my AT&T Tilt Windows Mobile phone. Yes, my phone too - it will sync pictures I take automatically, plus I can access any of my files.

One of the features I didn't realize was there is a 'trash can'.  On Friday night while I was waiting for something to process I decided to clean up my desktop.  All was good till Monday morning when I needed a file - Guess what - it was gone.  I could have pulled out the external drive with the backup on it and done a restore, but didn't want to go thru all that to get the file.  I opened up SugarSync to see if it was in there (still being new to the system, I didn't know...) and it wasn't - or at least I didn't think it was...  I did end up finding it in the Deleted Files folder on the SugarSync server.  I was happy to get my file back - and now I know what to do it that happens again.

That is one of the things I have been enjoying about SugarSync as apposed to something like foldershare - None of the computers have to be on, it's all stored on their servers.

Foldershare keeps files that are deleted from other synced computers in the trash folder.
Sugarsync sounds interesting, but it seems kinda overkill to upload many redundant files from multiple computers.
I'm currently using Foldershare along with Spideroak. Foldershare syncs all my computers and Spideroak sync my desktop to web. Spideroak offers web access and versioning feature so that user can go back to previous version if need to.

I tried SugarSync a few weeks ago, and the uploading was very slow (not my connection) and had a continual problem as it was always trying to upload a final 90+ files that never happened.

Tried it again recently -- same problems. I would really like this to work, but if you are putting 10GB of stuff up there, it does not seem too reliable.

I've been using SS for abut 2 weeks. It was a rough start, no doubt about it but things have slowly but surely smoothed themselves out. Hopefully, SS will turn the corner and improve even more. I purchased 30GB of backup at $49.99 per year for 2 years.
