A Linux release is the first item on the agenda, with OS X and Windows versions to follow. Since you will be hosting your own server, there is no need to worry about the monthly fees. Instead, you and your friends/coworkers set up connections to each other’s shares. Like Dropbox, SparkleShare sets up a local folder which is automatically kept in sync, though not in the cloud. Sparkleshare is the solution for those who have problems with Dropbox not being an open-source service. You get 1GB cloud space for free but users can gain more space by ‘trading idle HDD space’ or by inviting other users. Wuala has Cross platform native client support with extended privacy and sharing options. This Swiss-based service boasts tens of thousands of users with millions of files being actively saved, stored and accessed already. Wuala is a Linux friendly secure Dropbox alternative. But Syncplicity’s memory footprint is much heavier than that of Dropbox. Syncplicity’s sharing is a little safer with no easy and guessable public link to your files. But yeah, just like Dropbox, Syncplicity lacks a remote-access feature. Syncplicity is automated sync, back-up, collaboration and file management service powerful enough for a business user and easy enough for a novice. So, in addition to being a cloud based file storage service, Dmailer is also a good live online backup solution too. This makes restoration easier in case of data loss or corruption of operating system. The interface copies by default files from the Desktop, Documents, My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos folders. We can use the application on Windows and Mac operating systems and us e it to backup as much as 2GB of data. You may want to consider any of the following as well.ĭmailer is also a free online file hosting solution. However, Dropbox isn’t the only app out there, and 10 good alternatives where described on by Raju PP. Earlier I’ve been presenting Dropbox as a clever tool for backup and syncing files.
