    CloudAlly is a great backup for Salesforce and Box that is cloud based for a reasonable monthly/annual cost. Thankfully, we have rarely had to use our backups, but the service has been very reliable. It is less appropriate if you are not storing a lot in any of the platforms that they backup

    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

    We chose CloudAlly because it had both Box and Salesforce as backup options so we were able to only setup one service, rather than two. The price point is also much better than OwnBackup, which was our second option. I like Skyvia for importing data, but their interface is not as easy to use.

    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.

    • There were some opensource alternatives but we wanted something with better support which SugarSync offers.
    • We achieved faster project collaboration with SugarSync.
