Impossible Cloud Object Storage vs. SugarSync

I would recommend Impossible Cloud to anyone looking for an affordable, easy-to-scale cloud backup solution. For us, it was super important that our data is stored in a GDPR-compliant setup, where we know where it is. Having different data centers in Europe keeps the latency low. So if anything happens, we can get our data back quickly. Finally, the support was super fast and helpful.

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.

• Easy setup.
• Fast support time.
• European sovereign GDPR compliant solution.

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

• UX could be a bit smoother.

• 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

It's super fast to set up. Add your bucket, and you're basically good to go and can run your backup. Also, it connects to the common backup tools (in our case, Veeam), so we didn't have to change anything in our setup except the place where our data is actually stored.

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

In the end, the most important thing for us was full control over our data and a European solution. With it (luckily for us) came a cheaper price tag and better speed. Finally, you are not a ticket in a support center, but a valued customer. We could really feel that in the way the Impossible Cloud support team helped us when we ran into an issue.

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

• We are saving money - cheap storage and no fees.
• We can run our backup tests and don't have to worry about fees.

• 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.
