Migration of cloud service

Details: Hits: 4621

Dear Chess friends,

we have an important announcement to make. After 6 years of using cloud services of our vendor SugarSync we decided it is time to move on to better, faster and more reliable. We have heard many unpleasant stories about slow downloading, breaks, corrupted files etc and contacted number of times the help desk of SugarSync. Their response was always like it is the users issue, they have slow internet or provider is blocking their services and other B.S. Despite numerous attempts to show them comparison of other services they were unable to help us. So it is time to move on. We have found better, faster, more reliable service to you. It is called Sync.com.

The Cloud service is free of charge for you unlimited (not like SugarSync requires 90 days active account otherwise they cancel it) time and offers 5 GB of free storage (our shared folders do not count into this 5GB) . We use business PRO account which means we get to share with all of you the content of the folders. Another massive improvement in security is that members DO NOT see each other and we get to share large files at once. We no longer need to use the compression of RAR or ZIP which I know many of you hated it. This was also a limitation of sugarsync. The most important factor is the download speed. This we find after testing 10x faster than sugarsync and also more reliable (does not crash in the middle). The replication services is fast and secure. We offered it to some chess members and they were all happy with the service.

We will start migration of cloud services ASAP meaning please expect email invitation to the sync.com folder where we share our chess databases soon. We will run sugarsync simultaneously for some time and then discontinue the account. Please contact us in case you haven't received the invitation by December 1, 2016.
