Cloud folders are a trend nowadays, which makes perfect sense, because it is far more convenient to drop files in a folder and make them available to you anywhere in the world, rather than copying them to a removable drive, which can get lost or damaged. One of the services you should definitely try is 4Sync. It offers a highly effective file synchronization functionality, as well as 15 GB of free storage space to go with it.
The application and the file hosting service are free and you can have up to one TB of storage space if you pay a monthly subscription. The installation process is fast and it does not involve complex settings, but you need to create and confirm an online account. 4Sync is available for desktop PCs and Macs and for Android and iOS mobile devices.
4Sync employs a familiar principle. It monitors a special folder on your computer and it automatically uploads anything you place in that folder. Uploaded data can be found on a web-based user interface, in the same directory structure as in the local 4Sync folder. Besides your personal files, the web interface presents various options, for downloading selected files or folders, uploading new ones, sharing them and more.
When it comes to sharing data, the software places several possibilities at your disposal. You can share your files via direct link, send them by email to specific contacts or copy their HTML or forum code and post them somewhere. The same actions can be performed on the web interface, where you can also browse through files that other people have shared with you.
The best part about 4Sync is how easy it makes it to access the same files from any computer or mobile device. If you have the application installed on other computers or on your smartphone or tablet, it will automatically download new files to these devices, once they are uploaded to the cloud. In other words, you only need to drag and drop some files into a folder and you will be able to access them from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an Internet connection.
Pros
The application can automatically upload files to the cloud and download them to any linked devices. It allows you to manage your uploaded files on an intuitive web interface. Also, the software places various sharing options at your disposal.
Cons
You have to upgrade to a paid version if you wish to share files via direct link. Regardless of where in the world you intend to go, 4Sync will keep your personal data available to you at all times.
