Online File Storage and Sync Services Mature and Expand Features (Mozy Stash Launches)

January 27, 2012 By Ramon Ray avatar

Mozy has traditionally been known as an online backup service, competing head to head with Carbonite.

However, Mozy recently announced a new service, Stash, that allows you to synchronize files across computers and mobile devices.

File synchronization services such as Mozy, Dropbox, SugarSync, CX and Microsoft SkyDrive make it very easy for highly mobile professionals to access files from wherever they are – knowing they’ll always have the latest version of the file with them.

There are so many services starting up that you can try many of them and use the one which works best for you.

One caveat, ensure the service you are using is not a haven for illegal content or its possible that the authorities will shut it down as in the case of alleged intellectual property theft by Megaupload.

    Personally, I use Box, which also automatically syncs data from a designated folder on my laptop to the cloud, and makes that same data accessible from Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and more.

    From an SMB perspective, though, I would think something more robust would be wiser. In other words, I think Mozy is fine for an individual, but a business needs tools that allow for managing multiple users and systems, and meeting compliance and mobility needs as discussed in this article: http://www.pcworld.com/article/247792/think_bigger.html

    What are your thoughts?

      Hi Tony, you make a great point. I think the bigger the business, the bigger the risk and the more they need to REALLY think about using more stable tools
