Data safety is a big problem for us, our hard disk may crashes at any moment, we have to backup datas in order to decrease the damage that hard disk crashes caused.

Online data backup and sync tools not only backup our datas to their cloud computing storage, but also sync our datas between several computers. For example, you have a home PC and a laptop, you usually works on your laptop, but sometimes you have to work on your home PC, you have to copy datas from one to another, but with online sync tools, you needn’t to do that, of course, you should have Internet access.

Dropbox

Dropbox is such a kind of tool that backup and sync your datas, it’s very easy to use, you can install Dropbox desktop on Windows, Linux and Mac or even iPhone, so you can get access to your data at anytime and any anywhere.

Features

• File Sync
• File Sharing

Free users will get 2GB of storage and get extra 250MB after you have referralled a new user. I think 2GB is enough, you are not using Dropbox to backup your files, you use Dropbox to sync your files. If you want to get more storage, you have several pro plan to choose.

SugarSync

SugarSync do the same job as Dropbox does, compared to Dropbox, SugarSync is a bit more powerful. Dropbox only support iPhone access, SugarSync provides mobile applications to iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Google’s Andriod, at the sametime you can access to SugarSync from your Nokia S60 device by browser m.sugarsync.com, besides, SugarSync supports more languages that Dropbox.

The same as Dropbox, free users will get 2GB storage for free and 250MB for per referral. If you want to have more storage, there are Pro business plans and individual plans for you.
