Great reasons to choose Sugarsync

Watn2Host users rate Sugarsync as 4.5 out of 5 – Very Good.

SugarSync was born out of a company named Sharpcast, which was incorporated in 2004 by Gibu Thomas (CEO) and Ben Strong (Chief technical officer). In 2006, Sharpcast unveiled Sharpcast Photos, a tool for synchronizing images between multiple devices including PCs and mobile phones. Both founders left the company in November 2008. In December 2008, Laura Yecies was appointed as the CEO. Yecies and her team re-focused the company and renamed it SugarSync in 2009.

In March 2013, Mike Grossman took over as CEO. In his self-introductory blog he promised to focus the business on mobile, sharing and collaboration, and enhancing the sync and mirrored capabilities of the product. The blog post was inundated with requests for a Linux client such that the top Google result for searches relating to SugarSync on Linux returned Mr Grossman's introductory message.

SugarSync is a cloud service that enables active synchronization of files across computers and other devices for file backup, access, syncing, and sharing from a variety of operating systems, such as Android, iOS, Mac OS X, and Windows devices. For Linux, only a discontinued unofficial third-party client is available.

Sugarsync Security


SugarSync offers a solid approach to security. It uses TLS encryption in transit and 256-bit AES at rest. These are industry standard protocols that should keep your data perfectly safe from attacks.

However, SugarSync is still not a zero-knowledge provider. This means that it’s possible for company employees to decrypt and read your files. If SugarSync’s servers are hacked and its customer encryption keys compromised, or if SugarSync is legally compelled to release information, your data could be vulnerable.

For the average user, letting SugarSync manage encryption shouldn’t be an issue. That’s how Dropbox, Google Drive and most other cloud storage services work. If privacy is a top concern for you, however, we’d recommend finding a more secure alternative.
