SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6, 2012 / PRNewswire / - NextAdvisor.com, a leading consumer and information for small business website, today announced the launch of its new cloud storage category, providing in-depth, independent reviews and comparisons of the best cloud storage services. Publishers NextAdvisor tried seven different services to determine which provided the best value and what users can expect from each.
Cloud Storage services ensure that your files are only stored remotely and are available anywhere from any device with an Internet connection, they can synchronize the files on all your devices, ensuring you have the most upstream changes and possible information to date, no matter where you are. Cloud storage also allows you to easily share files with family, friends or work colleagues.
"Increasingly, people are turning to the cloud to keep their important files no matter both safe and easily accessible where they are or the device they are using," said the president NextAdvisor.com of Erik Larson. "as Internet-connected devices such as tablets and smartphones, continue to proliferate, we believe cloud storage services will play in the role increasingly important in how whose people store, access and share important information. "
As with all opinions of NextAdvisor, there were many factors that went into an overall rating for each service. reviewers signed for each cloud storage service and used them as a consumer would. They ran the backup routines online, files synchronized on multiple computers, which included Mac and PC, edited documents to test time updated, the files available on the web of each service interface, and test mobile applications, where applicable. Services were scored on everything, the number of devices that synchronize and how much storage space is authorized for intuitive and easy to use interfaces. "We also took into account the quality of a value each service was," said Larson. "We want to inform consumers about where they can get the most for their money."
While cloud storage has much in common with online backup services, which has NextAdvisor already discussed, it has other features that people will like and find extremely useful. "the backup services leading online are designed to run in the background and store your files in the cloud for recovery in case of hard drive failure or theft. Cloud storage services also store your files safely and securely in the cloud, but they are designed to make them easily accessible and shareable files, "says Larson. "In addition to ease of access and sharing, cloud storage offers the ability to sync files across multiple devices, ensuring users have the most updated files at any time."
the services cloud storage that NextAdvisor editors examined .com include SugarSync, JustCloud, ZipCloud, SpiderOak, MyPCBackup, LiveDrive and Dropbox. "with all the cloud storage services out there, it can be difficult for consumers to choose what works best for them, "said Larson. "We want to make it easier for them by providing a practical and informed opinion so that people can find the option that provides them the best value."
