Integrated PDF Viewer Compatible with Microsoft Office Office Online integration Works offline too Podcast Hosting Selective synchronization Share files Shared folders Shared links Unlimited storage Add a feature Spideroak both syncs AND backs up your files. Dropbox is not a backup service. Most importantly, Spideroak encrypts files on your computer before uploading them to their servers, which means only you can see your files and no one else. Dropbox doesn't do this, which means that Dropbox employees could access your files, which a much less private solution. Guest • Nov 2016 • 10 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Dropbox is not a good SpiderOak alternative because: 1) It doesn't offer end-to-end encryption and the privacy advantages that offers (that's a big deal), 2) it's emphasis is on sync, SpiderOak offers sync and backup. Dropbox has been reported to be an NSA surveillance target; SpiderOak has no such concerns because of its encryption system. Parts of SO are open source. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Dropbox is not a backup utility and it does not offer any privacy or encryption like SpiderOak does. Guest • Jul 2017 Disagree Agree

Selective synchronization Shared folders Add a feature MEGA is similar to SpiderOak because it claims to encrypt your files locally before upload and not have the keys to decrypt them ("zero-knowledge"). However, since its inception, MEGA has been mired in various controversies and has had security flaws detected (since fixed). SO has enjoyed a solid reputation. Both MEGA and SO can become slow when dealing with large numbers of files (not necessarily large files). JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree

Unlimited storage Support for WebDAV Add a feature OneDrive is bundleware integrated into MS Windows. It seeks to "help" you by syncing your files, even every MS Office document you write by default. (Switch that off!) It's intrusive, and it seeks to upload unencrypted versions of your files to MS servers. SO is a privacy-oriented company that encrypts your files in a way that makes them accessible only to you. Both sync your files, but SO respects your privacy. There also isn't a Linux sync agent for OD. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 5 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree

250 Like Resilio Sync Good alternative? YES NO Resilient, fast and scalable file synchronization for enterprises and individuals. Freemium Mac Windows Linux Android iPhone Android Tablet BSD Windows Phone ... iPad Kindle Fire Peer-To-Peer Decentralized Distributed File-sync Peer-To-Peer Selective synchronization Add a feature Resilio sync is for syncing, not for backup; SpiderOak is for both. Also, SpiderOak encrypts files on your computer before they get uploaded, so it offers that much more privacy out of the box. Resilio Sync will sync files MUCH faster, but should not be relied on for backup because you need a computer running all the time to use it. Check out SyncThing as an open-source and more trustworthy alternative to Resilio Sync. JohnFastman • Feb 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree
