This can usually be ignored but I like to see that changes are being synced. Sometimes the system tray icon doesn't load even though SpiderOak is still running in the background. Deleted files are stored locally on each machine and the trash has to be emptied individually. SpiderOak is the most complicated to setup and is slow to detect changes locally or on the server. Deleted files are stored on Dropbox servers for thirty days and you can restore them from the website. I was inconvenienced during a couple of outages but that was an issue with the servers and not the program. I have been using Dropbox the longest and have not once had a problem with the software. Considering that their security incident was caused by an employee I have little faith that they will protect sensitive data and only use them for non-sensitive data like game saves. It also offers two-step authentication which will prevent others from logging into your Dropbox account but still doesn't protect your data from Dropbox employees. Aside from the lan sync feature, Dropbox allows you to right-click on a file within your Dropbox folder and copy a link to share the file. It is the simplest of the three mentioned here to setup and use and is the most reliable. They both allow you to sync multiple folders in different locations on the computer while Dropbox only allows you to sync folders that are under your main Dropbox folder.ĭropbox is probably the best known cloud syncing service.

Slower and uses more bandwidth through your internet connection. Instead they transfer files to their servers first and theįiles then get downloaded to the other machines. Neither of them has the lan sync feature thatĭropbox has that transfers files between computers on the same network

This won't be a problem if you use a password manager such as KeePass. The downside to this is that if you lose your password you lose access to your files. Their advantage over Dropbox is that they both encrypt files client-side and do not have access to your data. I had heard of Spideroak before and I found Wuala during my search for a new service. After Dropbox's security incident I decided to try out alternative services that were supposed to be more secure.
