Why Store Your Files in the Cloud Anyway? 

You may wonder why you need this cloud storage thing anyway and if it is secure to store your files some place that you can’t control. Of course there are pros and cons that you need to be aware of before signing up for any cloud storage service. 

Generally speaking, a cloud storage service like SugarSync let’s you access your files wherever you are. If you choose a service with file sync then you can make all important files available on any amount of devices. So it is no problem to open a new spreadsheet at the office and then finish it off at home on your laptop or iPad. 

Cloud storage is location independent and you can access all of your files from a web browser. SugarSync had one advantage over competitors like Dropbox: you could choose any folder on your hard drive that would act as a syncing folder.

While Dropbox limits you to one single central folder which can get annoying at times.
