SugarSync · Los Angeles, California, United States · founded 2004
What it is
SugarSync is cloud software for synchronizing files, backing up data, accessing files, and sharing them. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and the web. Users can choose individual folders to synchronize with all devices or selected devices, with edits becoming available across devices after synchronization. Sharing can be limited to named people with viewing or editing permission, or provided through public links. File versioning and business administration controls are included. A remote-wipe option removes synchronized files from a Windows or Mac computer while retaining the cloud data. Mobile users can access, share, and manage files from phones and tablets. Zapier can connect SugarSync with services such as Evernote, Gmail, and Yammer, while Boxcryptor can encrypt files locally before upload. Plans include a free option and a 30-day trial, and all plans are hosted in the United States.
