So you want to sync your local files to your Microsoft SkyDrive or Google Drive account for free? Well then GoodSync is worth looking into and you can download the FREE version here.

After reviewing it and using the free version myself, I ended up buying the pro version as it has so many more options and is one of the better backup and synchronization programs out there I have explored.

One of the outstanding features that I use myself that others do not offer is the ability it has to sync to the cloud.

I am able to sync my local files to the cloud such as Amazon Cloud, Microsoft SkyDrive, and Google Drive.  I use two out the three cloud services I listed, but actually prefer my Google Drive due to the FREE 15GB of storage and it just makes sense as I already use Google App for Business as my business Mail Provider for free. You can find out more about Google Drive here.

The syncing is fast as they now use block level synchronization to sync files. Basically the software is able to sync the bits and pieces of a file that have changed, not the entire file as that is unnecessary and wastes bandwidth and speed.

Following their simple online instructions you can easily setup jobs in a matter of minutes. These “jobs” tell the software basically what to do.  The free version allows you to create up to 3 jobs which should be able to meet many of your needs. The downside is its limited to 100 “files” in total.

The Pro Version releases the full potential and at a low price of $29.95 (one time purchase) it can easily pay for it self by knowing you will have piece of mind for all of your files and saving you headaches trying to repair or replace files/data after a loss.

You can set up several jobs so they make backup files to a external hard drive you have at your home and then also create another job so it backs up or synchronizes to the cloud for additional piece of mind.

You can’t get more piece of mind knowing your data (family pictures, financial documents etc..)  are protected and safe for the one time fee of $29.95. This  Start you trial today! or simply add it to your cart and purchase it here.
