"Terrible Customer Service "
0/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

When the service worked it was just okay. We had issues with syncing across all computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

Our files were never up to date across all of our business computers and when I went to cancel our account a year ago to move to another service, they never canceled the account. This year they charged me almost $700 for not using their service then said it would be up to 45 days to get it refunded. Al this after waiting to get through to a customer service person and then getting hung up on and having to call back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Storage Capacity Mediocre Interface"
3/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

This service allowed for varying levels of storage usage and syncing over multiple devices with a high level of control - different folders could have different sync options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

I hated using the interface: Online access was cumbersome and the ap for smart phones and tablets was worse. While the system created a local folder that was easy enough to access/streamlined to your operating system, it did no good when trying to access files that were not locally stored.

"Realtime downloading for transcription"
4/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

I like that you can work in realtime - especially when having an immediate turnaround on the audio, you can be working and downloading the audio immediately to keep going, not having to go back and forth re-downloading the audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

It was glitchy. Set up was cumbersome and somewhat confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the Job. Magic Briefcase is Nice."
2.5/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

The Magic Briefcase is nice to have. Just drop files in it on your desktop and those you're sharing with have access too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

Takes a long time to load. Software feels clunky and outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SugarSync a great cloud option for small businesses"
4/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

SugarSync allows our team to easily work off a single file structure in the cloud. Management controls the main account and is able to select which folders to share with users. We all work remotely so this is a perfect alternative to an in-office network. Tablet and mobile platforms are user friendly and make pulling up files on the go a simple task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

Some users experience difficulties getting SugarSync to cooperate with their system. One user in particular has had to reinstall the program and resync folders multiple times now. Not sure if the issue is on his end or a bug in the software, but it is a pain to work through each time. Also, SugarSync seems to place a copy of deleted files into a deleted items folder which causes confusion and takes up additional storage space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cloud storage that's easy to use and access"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

Easy to use -- files are easily transferred from computer to cloud and vice versa. Also easy to access from any computer -- just login to the site directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

It would appear that when I'm using the desktop application, I'm not able to directly access my SugarSync files through Finder unless I had previously downloaded them to my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best way to backup constantly with little work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

I like that SugarSync backs up any folder that I select automatically. I and most of the staff here, have SugarSync running always. Unlike Google Drive, where I can still back up anything I want into a single Drive folder, SugarSync uploads multiple folders without me having to do any extra organizing. The set up is extremely simple and the amount of storage they offer makes it easy for all of us to upload as much as we would like. It is great that I can access anything from my laptop, desktop, and mobile phone all through SugarSync. I never have to worry about not having something with me, as long as I have access to the Internet. There are so many cloud storage options out there, but SugarSync seems to be the easiest and most simple way to back up everything on any of your devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

SugarSync, as expected, does slow down our network, as it puts a lot of weight on it with so many users backing up their devices. It doesn't cause much of a problem, but our network analyst can easily see how hard it is working. I do tend to get some unnecessary mail as an admin, but that is just my opinion. Others may want a play by play on what is happening with new users. I, on the other hand, would prefer not to be so informed about small things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great solution for syncing two computers"
4/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

I like that this program will keep certain folders on both my computers synced so that I have the same files in the same place on both computers. This keeps me more organized and efficient when trying to get my work done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

I had a very hard time understanding how this program worked. There are support documents but I feel they were hard to understand. It also seemed that the sync process took a very long time and slowed down other activities running on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works as expected!"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SugarSync?

-Any folder on your computer can be synced, unlike Dropbox, which requires you to put any files to be put in the cloud into the Dropbox folder. (You can also sync your Dropbox folder to SugarSync, which is fun.)

-Is free. You also get more free storage space from SugarSync (5G, I think) vs 2G from Dropbox. However, when signing up on SugarSync, you really have to search around for that free option since they really push the paid account.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SugarSync?

Access. Interface is not as easy or user-friendly. The one-click on the Dropbox icon while working on your computer to open up the synced folder is something I wish SugarSync would do. The SugarSync app for Kindle is also a bit obnoxious in that it is sometimes hard to get it to manually sync, and sometimes it crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
