Pro Tip: How to Transfer SugarSync to Another Cloud

Although SugarSync offers many conveniences, it has some limitations. As an illustration, SugarSync does not maintain a free deposit after the trial period as explained. Therefore, one has to upgrade his or her account after the free trial if the service is to be sustained. At the same time, it manages to save not more than 5 older versions of files, which may not be sufficient for those who deal with heavy versioning.

Furthermore, also due to the absence of real-time editing features along with other collaborating tools as is the case with Google Drive, One Drive, and others, working with other users is a challenge. In this case, you need to seek SugarSync alternatives. To collaborate with others with your SugarSync files efficiently, you can transfer files and folders from SugarSync to a collaborative cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
