User Testimonials
	GoodSync	Google Backup and Sync (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	[It's well suited for] duplication of files for transferring to a new machine or remote usage but I wouldn't use it if you needed to keep those places up to date all the time as it only works when you run it, not continuously. Incentivized Troy Alcorn Owner /Operator Read full review	If we have alot of branches office cross the world in many country and you work mostly with office file, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, I recommend using Google Drive is best, because most of ISP has local Google cache that improve the speed upload or download file and sharing quicker to everyone. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	synchronization and backup easily identifies files that have been moved identifies deleted files and prompts user if there are conflicts Incentivized JC Joe Cuschieri President Read full review	Cloud storage Fast updating Works across devices Easy to collaborate Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	I don't really have any cons Incentivized Troy Alcorn Owner /Operator Read full review	It is a bit slow. It could have multiple backups based on date. Incentivized AH Alex Hedin Business Operations Support Specialist Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It requires little to no user intervention to get it working properly Incentivized AH Alex Hedin Business Operations Support Specialist Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Google support is usually pretty good, never had an issue that required direct communication or support from Google. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	For reliability, GoodSync is beyond comparison. Some of the other tools I tried either fail through the backup/synchronization process, leaving one with unknown status of what has been backed up and what has not, wasting an inordinate amount of time because one has to repeat the whole process. Goodsync, even if it stops because of power glitches can easily pick up where it left after performing the analysis Incentivized JC Joe Cuschieri President Read full review	Since the [Google Backup and Sync] works with google/gmail accounts, and most people have a google account already it made it an easy solution to setup and link with most users. The other solutions would have required setting up new accounts for most employees to get them started, so it saved us that hassle. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	I use the workstation version. It is my go-to for manual data transfers. When I want to the most precise one or two-way transfer, GoodSync is what I use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It save a lot's of time. Saving a lot's of hassle. User friendly environment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
