![]() Depending on what you need or want, both are also good choices for your daily backup and sync on multiple devices. On the other hand, I also like SpiderOak for its more comprehensive features that allow better control over the backup/sync. You can also set the backup/sync schedule to once every 30 mins, 1 hour, 2 hour or more.Īll in all, I still love Dropbox of its simplicity features and it works beautifully without much hassle. It uses batch processing with rather fast speed (although depending on your bandwidth). I can monitor the backup/sync progress on its queue/log features. Most importantly, SpiderOak guarantees your files are secure and safe on their servers with their true privacy feature and fault tolerant design.Ĥ) I also like SpiderOak’s progress transparency while files are being backup. ![]() SugarSync Personal FREE: 5GB, unlimited computers, 1 user. SpiderOak focuses on three major features, Backup, Syncing and Sharing whereas SugarSync focuses on syncing as its primary function with the ability to share. It uses a combination of 2048 bit RSA and 256 bit AES. SugarSync and SpiderOak have similar plans and you get around the same amount of space 100GBs for the price of 10/Month. However, the good thing is you can create multiple and different sync jobs on different folders on different devices.ģ) SpiderOak boasts about their ‘zero knowledge’ security for your files. Sync job must be created after you selected folders/files to be backup first to SpiderOak. Once you you have entered this tab, in the main view you will find the name of each of the synchronizations that you have executed. Go to the Synchronize tab found on the far right from the main interface of the application. It’s not automatic by default unlike Dropbox. The steps to edit the synchronizations you have made are as follows: Enter the application SpiderOak One Backup. It works perfect even for network folders backup, which is why I choose this for my office work.Ģ) Different concept about syncing on SpiderOak. Unlike Dropbox’s sync on one folder only, SpiderOak lets you choose what folder(s) to backup. Sync is secondary in SpiderOak while Dropbox’s concept is more towards syncing on different devices which also act as the backup. So, today I would like to share my findings on SpiderOak versus Dropbox:ġ) SpiderOak’s major purpose is not about sync, it’s about backup. It’s great that SpiderOak provides more control over what to backup/sync rather than just a dedicated folder like Dropbox. I would love to use Dropbox still but somehow it’s not suitable for my office file structure that requires more control and flexibility. However, recently I have been exploring the alternative of other similar backup/sync services (for office work purposes) and I found SpiderOak. I have no issue with Dropbox but only praises. I’m a big fan of Dropbox and it has literally saved my dissertation work for the past 1.5 years.
