Filestack
The integration is airy and the performance is amazing. Initially, we used our photo file uploader and it worked, but as our needs grew the developmental effort to support new needs took a lifetime. As a development manager, this was a big red flag because uploading files had become a hindrance and time-consuming away from other purposes.

When doing daily jobs, if you’re sharing large files, I think Dropbox works a lot better but if you have a system where you’re working within that system and you want to be able to work with that system and have certain folders that you have access to all the time then SugarSync might be just the ticket.

  • Sync files in any folder - rather than forcing you to store them in a certain place (Although this can be confusing too)
  • Works in the background - although this is true for all
  • You can share with others - including those who do not use SugarSync

  • Can only think of one thing. I have helped others to get going with SugarSync and they if they have problems it is understanding the cloud.... So maybe (if it dosen't exist already) I would like to have a animation of the proces with "flying" folders between desktops, clouds etc. Otherwise SugarSync is just great.

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

Ease of integration [was] that we had developers who were familiar with implementing Filestack. It also decreased the dependency and load of our Developers since the implementation instructions are fairly straightforward. Filestack is excellent at what it does (asset management) and Cloudinary/Akamai is primarily used to serve content and decrease latency as CDNs.

SugarSync, like all solutions, has its place in the data storage stack within a company. The main reason SugarSync is better than the other solutions is that it enables me to leave my hard drive organized and keep my existing file trees. I don't have to constantly move or copy files to a specific folder if I want them backed up.
