SugarSync 4.2.1.2
One of such apps is SugarSync, which offers a 5 GB free limited trial for new users.
Easy-to-use interface with plenty of features at hand
The app comes with a highly comprehensive tutorial that shows new users how to navigate in the app and access all its features. But the interface itself isn't complicated, only with a few features neatly arranged in the side menu leaving enough space on the home screen to display folders with your files.
But before you can actually enjoy the app, you'll need to register with an account. Use your Facebook or Google+ profiles in order to do so. Or, you can register with an email address. You can have the app show the menu at start or pick a name for your device.
Automatically sync information from your phone to the cloud account
The app lets users automatically backup their photos and videos into a certain folder in their cloud account. Moreover, you can have the app sync only over Wi-Fi or allow sync while roaming.
The app also has a section in which it shows your recent activity, namely files you've uploaded and folders that you've created. A search bar lets you find documents fast without having to browse through the file manager.
You also have plenty of options to filter and sort files or folders in your account. You can create shortcuts for them or move files from one folder to another. Files can be secured inside the app is the users setup a pin code.
Some more features
You can upload videos and pictures or documents and files, by simply tapping on multiple items and adding them to a list. Uploads take a while to complete, but they also depend on your internet connection.
The app also lets you share large files with a simple link or share entire folders for easy collaboration. Plus, you can easily access content that others have shared with you and manage the content you have shared with others.
Still, the service isn't free users get a limited free trial with 50 GB of space that they can try for 90 days but they'll need to upgrade to an account of up to 500 GB for 199.99$ per year.
