SugarSync vs Yandex Disk

SugarSync combines cloud file synchronization, online backup, file access and sharing. It lets users select folders to sync across all or chosen devices, and synced edits become available across devices after synchronization. Sharing can be limited to named people with viewing or editing access, or provided through public links. The service also includes file versioning, business admin controls and remote wipe: synced files can be removed from a Windows or Mac computer while remaining in the cloud. Mobile users can access, share and manage files on iOS and Android. SugarSync runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.
