SugarSync and Dropbox

SugarSync is a cloud backup service built around 2004, favored by many users for its simple file sync service. Users can sync and securely access files from the cloud in seconds. SugarSync also supports saving, viewing and editing documents across multiple devices, so users can manage and share files the way they want.

Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud storage services in the world. With the help of Dropbox, users can store files online, sync data to all their devices, and share files easily. Dropbox also offers users free storage: each user can start for free (2GB), then upgrade for more space and security features.

Why Transfer Files from SugarSync to Dropbox?

Both SugarSync and Dropbox can provide users with file storage and sharing services, but from the table above we can find that SugarSync and Dropbox have obvious differences in terms of free space, supported mobile devices, shared file encryption and security.

For ordinary users, SugarSync does not provide free storage space, which is undoubtedly a fatal shortcoming. Also, to get a 30-day free trial, users need to provide detailed credit card information, which is extremely inconvenient. In addition, the storage space purchase plan provided by SugarSync is less selective and generally more expensive.

In the process of storing data, security is a point that users must consider. Looking at the above table content, Dropbox provides a folder-sharing encryption service, which can ensure that users' private information will not be spread everywhere. And Dropbox provides SSL 256-bit AES encryption technology, which is more secure than SugarSync.

That is to say, Dropbox is even better than SugarSync in terms of overall cost and security. If there is data archived in SugarSync, and it is too late to move, the following is a simple operation method.
