Security

Although Sugar Sync has a huge customer base, the security features used offer relatively less security than those used by MyPCBackup. Sugar Sync makes use of 128-bit AES encryption to secure the replication of data on its secure servers. In contract, MyPCBackup uses 256-bit SSL encryption to create a more secure environment for its users so they can store and share their favorite files with other users safely, without the risk of the being peeked into.

Storage Space

Sugar Sync is more focused towards serving personal users and medium sized business organizations. It offers 5 GB free online storage to its users. This can be upgraded to paid plans anytime you decide that you need additional storage. Expanded plans include storage space in the range of 30 GB to 500 GB. In contrast, MyPCBackup offers limitless storage space that can be used to store almost anything you want. The service not only aims to provider convenience to small business owners and personal users, but is also designed to be efficiently used by medium and large business organizations.

Support

A 30-day free trial is offered by Sugar Sync to all users, and on all plans. Users can try out all the features included and decide if they suit their demands. MyPCBackup also gives a 14-day trial to its users. You can reach customer support for MyPCBackup by using live chat services or filling their website form. Additionally, you may also browse through their FAQs section to resolve the most common doubts. Support options for Sugar Sync are also the same.

Winner

Although Sugar Sync does offer some additional features such as 5 GB free storage space and 30-days free trial period, it lacks in some very crucial aspects such as online storage space and security. The unlimited storage offered by MyPCBackup at a very affordable fee has proven to be more useful to customers. Furthermore, MyPCBackup employs higher levels of security than its competitor, thus making MyPCBackup the King of this Ring.
