Latest File Syncing and Backup

      ADrive tries to win over users with the promise of an exquisite amount of free storage space: 50GB! But there's no such thing as a free lunch. ADrive comes with a lot of caveats, and it's difficult to recommend to most users.

    • Apple iCloud Drive

      Apple's iCloud Drive cloud file-syncing and storage service is a worthwhile service, especially if you're entrenched in Apple's ecosystem, but it doesn't quite measure up to the competition from Google and Microsoft.

    • MozyHome

      Big on simplicity, but light on features and performance, the MozyHome online backup service doesn't offer a whole lot for the money.

    • Backblaze

      Backblaze is a true set-it-and-forget-it online backup service. It's good for novices, but it may frustrate expert users who want more granular controls.

    • SpiderOak ONE

      A strong focus on privacy is online backup service SpiderOak ONE's biggest appeal, and it's highly customizable, too. It's not cheap, however, and its mobile apps need work.
