Datto Workplace vs. SugarSync

This is a great system for anyone that works where items/projects are shared with multiple co-workers. People can access the document at the same time but it will create duplicates, so you would have to figure out what the other person changed in the file so it is all in one place. It would not be good if multiple people have to access a document at the exact same time.

As with all file sharing, remote teams - the combination of being able to work alongside colleagues - or remotely (including "on a plane" / without Internet) - but always have your files saved locally makes it very easy to adopt.

• Keeping documents sorted
• Making it easy to access documents from anywhere
• Sharing documents with other staff members

• Excellent transfer speed.
• Able to synchronize multiple disjoint folders.
• Excellent retention of deleted files. They can be restored by using their web interface.

• I'd love to be able to sync to my phone and access documents without having to download/upload.

• It’s a subtle but important difference in how it works because we have to manage the process a little bit more but it also means also SugarSync can possibly fit better into
• your productivity work style, especially if you’ve got a really good system of file
• management, stuff that you already use whereas in Dropbox, if you have a file system, management system you already use and you want to share those files, you have to move them into Dropbox which might break your system
• SugarSync requires just a little bit more forethought.

1. Freemium model is the ideal marketing for an app like this. 2. Now their sync methods with Android are worse

Customer service is amazing, they are always fast to respond and very helpful.

They are both great and I use both daily. Google Drive does have a slight leg up in that multiple people can make edits to a document at the same time and it doesn't create conflicting documents. You can also see the changes in real-time.

SugarSync has solid security. It uses AES 256-cycle to scramble your records extremely still and the TLS show to get them coming. I can open the actual document and I can work on it, save it, and now it’s the same on my notebook as it is in the sync in the Cloud and here on my desktop. So it works very simply and effectively from that perspective. Before I finish though, I do want to show you mobile access because mobile access is increasingly important for all of these different services that we’re talking about. For SugarSync, having access to our iPhone, iPad, or our Android device is also crucial. So here we see my iPhone is up and I’m going to go into my Productivity tab here

• Easier to share documents from different location.
• Doesn't work well if more than one person needs to access/edit the doc at the same time.
• Easy to find documents when needed.

• I've used it for 9 years, so the impact is definitely positive. It has enabled me to always feel confident that I won't lose my data.
• At times when I have accidentally saved-over rather than saved-as, the versioning tool allows me to quickly find the old version and recover it.
• The mobile application makes my data available to me at all times - increasing my ability to do business from anywhere.
