What users are saying

1. God I love when companies make a product like this that just works great.On the android app (version 5.1.0.50), each time I tried to ‘add’ a folder to be synced from the external memory card, the app would immediately crash.

2. Option to exclude subfolders (I don't need the thumbnail folder on my phone to sync to the cloud/my computer).Great Backup App! I've used this app for years now.

3. Not only is SugarSync overpriced, the Android app cannot sync to a first level directory (e.g. instead of /Music, you get /Music/Music on your phone) and it is not at all possible to sync to an SD drive with current versions of Android.

4. However, looks like I'll need to reconsider that now since the app is useless to me.For some reason, my Android phone won't access the latest version of files that I've modified on my home PC.

5. Summary of feature requests from prior review (2017): Option to restrict syncing to specific times (eg, sync when my network isn't in use at night when I'm asleep).

6. The function to sync contents from an external memory card to SugarSync needs to be fixed/added.

7. It works seemlessly backuping up specific folders on my computers and syncing files across machines while allowing me to pull anything up remotely on my phone.

8. I don't get all the complainers on here.Used SS for years & suddenly out of nowhere I can no longer sync albums off my Android.

9. I urge anyone reading this to look elsewhere, you'd be better off with another sync service.I rarely if ever write reviews, but this app pissed me off so much that I'm actually taking the time to do it.

10. Immediately accesses the old files that it was using before.After using SugarSync for years, I have decided to move to Mega and the separate MegaSync app.

11. Bug #2 doesn't exist in the iOS version.I was told 2 months ago that the issue with adding folders was being reviewed, but no update or additional follow up.

    2. On iPhone, goto AppStore » Your profile » Available Updates » Check for SugarSync » click "UPDATE".
