Team review

" All of your data at your fingertips. "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 1.6 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (3 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Negative review Absolute worst by anonym
Dont even bother with this cloud storage solution, there are much better options out there that are completely free. These people try to charge you for storage after 90 days... wtf is that about! I will never use your services ever again! 1/5
Positive review Work is going well with eve by anonym
Very useful tool for collecting the articles.. 5/5
Positive review First impression! by anonym
I have just installed this app . However, I have been very impressed by the general interface and professional design of the application . Signing up was very easy and straightforward. Free 5 gigabytes of storage is great. So far, this app merits 5 stars. 5/5
Negative review Doesn't work on KitKat and they won't fix it by anonym
After upgrading my phone to KitKat, file and folder synchronization is broken, but they refuse to fix it. "Not our fault!" they say. "[We] will not be pursuing a resolution for this in the immediate future." I'm a paid subscriber and this is how they treat a customer? Now looking to take my business elsewhere. 1/5
Neutral review Too expensive by anonym
Was the best for quite a while but has fallen behind and is way too expensive, they missed the boat and failed to see the emerging trends. 3/5
Negative review Force Close by anonym
Really annoys me, it's force close every time I open this app and syncing. Running Kit Kat 4.4.4 1/5
Neutral review Small problem by anonym
It keeps logging me out ,so no real time sync until I log in manually 3/5
Negative review by anonym
Really terrible app. I never write reviews but I felt compelled to for this one as it's so far below the mark. Clunky and dinosaur like compared to Dropbox functions and make you pay for functions Dropbox gives you for free. I'm forces to use this God awful app because my work uses it. Its terrible. Stay away. 1/5
Positive review Like it! by anonym
Seems easy so far. Now on Samsung s4 & Samsung note pro 5/5
Negative review Great until removed free by anonym
Had unlimited free like other cloud services but now only 90 days...can't rate higher now 2/5
Positive review Remarkable apps based on just about everything I like Thank You. by anonym
LIVE 5/5
Neutral review Good app by anonym
Only the share option should be extended, to a wider use. 3/5
Positive review Have a sweet tooth for sugarsync by anonym
Love it's flexibility. Provides a unique service that no other cloud service does. 5/5
Negative review Beware of subscription by anonym
Great app but beware of paid subscription. I just had my subscription auto renew for double what I first paid without being told. Went from 49 to 99 which is absurd considering what I get on OneDrive for far less money. Do not pay them anything. 1/5
Negative review Why can't you sync files from SD card??? by anonym
If I can't backup files from my SD Card, the app is USELESS!! I store most of my pics & docs on my SD card! I'm so disappointed. I have SugarSync Premium on my laptop & really like it. Imho, options like Dropbox & Drive are very limited. With SugarSync you can selectively-sync individual folders. You can sync between devices, use it for backup only, or a combination of both. I Love not having to move all my files to a separate backup folder (like Dropbox). But no SD card backup with the app?? DEALBREAKER!! 1/5
Neutral review Costly by anonym
It delete my old account with lot's dats which was free without noticing me to upgrade to pay version 3/5
Neutral review SugarSync missing few important features by anonym
The most annoying is automatic video start synch even though it is not set up to synch. Every time when I open the app it starts synching and waisting resources and my time. 3/5
Negative review Very buggy... by anonym
I used to love SugarSync, until I started using it on Android. This app seems riddled with bugs. Just recently... I added a folder with many files on my desktop, but before it finished syncing with my tablet, it deleted the folder on my desktop! I'm glad I had a backup elsewhere... After I restored that I ended up with duplicates (which SugarSync renamed) of the exact same files in the exact same same folder as it continues to re-upload and download them in both directions. Why can't it simply do a checksum and notice they're already there? Ridiculous! If they don't fix this, I'll be looking for something better very soon. 2/5
Positive review Worked as Expected by anonym
Does what I expected, found my desktop files easily. No more , no less 4/5
Positive review App's great, Android KitKat's SD card writing restriction sucks by anonym
Google team: what's the point of having an SD card if you don't allow apps like Sugarsync to store my photos, music, etc there? 5/5
Negative review Not user friendly. by anonym
The app may work wonderfully - if you can understand how to work it! 1/5
Negative review Samsung by anonym
The app works fine. I am pulling it because of the expense of baking up my phone and computer. Too rich for my blood. 2/5
Negative review Fix your select feature by anonym
mobile app - If I choose to select and item from a list, the select icon is directly over the scroll feature and I can't select the item without the list moving to that area of the auto scroll. It's been over a year Now, please fix these easy features immediately. Desktop - you can't quick select photos from a folder without either selecting all, or clicking each picture individually. I'm trying to transfer some of my photos from one folder to another, and I have to click each one. Do not use sugar sync 2/5
Neutral review Effective, good design, poor settings by anonym
Does what it is supposed to with speed and style. The only major problem I've encountered is buggyness in the settings. I enabled photo syncing and it started to waste my data plan copying old photos to the cloud. Fair enough, it was easy to see what it was doing and disable. Unfortunately the next time I restarted my phone it resumed syncing despite being disabled and blew away my data plan before I noticed. This bug cost me $10 in overages. 3/5
Negative review SugarSync by anonym
Theres nothing sweat about this app, can't find files, documents, pictures, it doesnt sync avoid this app like the plague after paying for it there is no tech support, there better apps that are free.... 1/5
Negative review DO NOT TRUST THIS STORAGE! by anonym
I had my account for a while, got 30+ GB from referrals.. I used it mainly for university material. Now I was trying to access my account and apparently it was deleted by them because they decided that they do not provide free cloud storage anymore. It was not a trial. I had it for few years. This is not a trustworthy cloud provider. Do not put sensitive documents there if you want a real backup. 1/5
Negative review NOT FREE , BAYAR, ORA GRATIS by anonym
I think costumer better used Drobox or One Drive , Microsoft product that is very freefull,Soft ware koyo ngene ae mbayar, Gaathel opo 1/5
Neutral review Somewhat flexible, but still needs improvement by anonym
I am a premium SugarSync customer and I was drawn to SugarSync because of its ability to sync any folder, not just specific folders like most of the big-name competitors. But where SugarSync falls short are in some of the nice-to-have extras that it is just missing. Specifically: 1) You can't disable syncing on specific files in a folder. 2) You can't set it up to sync at certain times of day. This would be helpful to avoid data caps as well as high-traffic times. 3) On the mobile version, it doesn't seem to give you the ability to sync to an external SD card. Overall, a good competitor to the big names. But it could be so much better. 3/5
Negative review DON'T TRUST THEM! by anonym
I had canceled my gold membership account BEFORE my one year mark and they still charged me $74.99 and will not refund me my money. Note will they respond to any correspondence that I seems them, go figure. Do NOT trust them. 1/5
Neutral review Was good.. by anonym
Long time user and over time it saved my butt on occasion. But...like a lot of good things people can't just leave it alone. The new interface is cumbersome and clunky. Just when you figure out how to nav one version you get a new one with more features to "help" you. I don't need help just leave me alone. The last straw was adding new computers it made copies of copies so it seems and bloated itself into oblivion. At my cost now $50 month! All that lead to huge hassles and losses. Off to Dropbox 1T for $99 3/5
Positive review Now my main cloud by anonym
What's great about this app: First thing; Affordable: it is only 7.49 a month, 2 or more dollars cheaper then Dropbox. Second thing; ALMOST the most convenient. It has a wonderful Android and windows app. And, one disadvantage is that it doesn't have a Ubuntu Linux app, but the web GUI makes up for it, mostly, it is super easy, very well laid out, and once files/folders are placed, they sync to all other devices instantly. Third thing; incredibly resource light. Takes up HEAPS less Memory and network resources on Windows. About as good as it gets. 4/5
Neutral review Great when it works by anonym
Easy enough design to navigate, but why isn't that thing I know is on my computer not on my phone?! You know, that thing I really need right now and the whole reason I got SugarSync in the first place ? 3/5
Positive review Great app, slow site by anonym
The syncing of my photos/data is fantastic, even with a slight delay giving me time to delete unwanted camera photos. The Web UI is rather slow though compared to dropbox but sugarsync is cheaper... 4/5
Negative review Service is good, app is too difficult to use! by anonym
SugarSync is an OK service, lacking anything better. This app, though, well, one star is way too much and describing only all the major shortcoming would take too much time. Try it if you have SugarSync but prepare to be disgusted. 1/5
Positive review by anonym
This is an amazingly useful app. I'm very impressed with the user friendly features and the ability to upload a 1.7G video file without breaking it down. Much thanks again. Thank you very much 5/5
Negative review so bad by anonym
I wakeup this morning to see a massage that you toke 18$ without asking permission . 1/5
Positive review Best cloud storage by anonym
I really have no idea why SugarSync isn't lauded among the other top dogs of cloud storage. In my opinion, the fact that it will sync ANY folder on your hard drive (as opposed to just its own dedicated folder) makes it the best service. 5/5
Neutral review Blah... by anonym
It's useful but cumbersome. I hate the European styling and functionality. Amazingly though, it's better than their 2.0 desktop app... what a hack job that is. 3/5
Negative review Stay away! You've been warned. by anonym
They reactivated my account to charge my credit card for another year's service. In the middle of claiming process but I know I'll lose this one. Plain theft. No other words for it. Lots of companies are up to this but did not expect this from Sugarsync. I truly hope they act up and put things right so I can take this back. My sympathy goes to the front guys in billing who are putting up with claims fr customers because of their company's malpractice. Must be on of the saddest jobs on earth. 1/5
Positive review Skeptic gains optimism by anonym
App was pre-installed with 5 Gb so my 7' tab has 1/3 Gb more ROM till the miniSDHC card fairy puts money in the myBestBuy fund. I get by with a little help from sugarbeaks, and across devices without developing much. Nature has required no nurture to survive. 5/5
