It feels as though file sharing has been tacked on as something of an afterthought: you can share a file or a folder, but there are no password or time limit controls. You can disconnect devices from the service fairly easily, and even identify where it currently is located, and from our tests uploading and downloading is respectably quick (though a bit more information on the current state of these transfers would be welcome). The web dashboard is almost entirely focused on monitoring activity rather than providing access to the files it has secured, and digging in to find a specific file or folder is a tedious and painful exercise. Once the tool is installed and connected to an account, you can select what on the computer you’d like backing up and initiate the process – and for those who aren’t confident, SOS provides installation guides and a step-by-step video taking you through the process. On the plus side, we were very impressed by how rapidly new customers can be up and running, as installation and configuration are lightning quick. If you want to know what computing was like in the 2000s, this cloud storage provider will be able to take you back.
