RcloneView brings full GUI control to your SugarSync storage — browse, sync, and back up files without relying on SugarSync's native desktop client alone.

SugarSync has been a trusted cloud backup solution for small businesses and individual professionals who need reliable file sync across devices. While SugarSync's native app covers everyday syncing, RcloneView adds powerful features for IT administrators and power users: scheduled jobs, cloud-to-cloud transfers, bulk migrations, and centralized management alongside your other cloud accounts.

Connect SugarSync to RcloneView

RcloneView connects to SugarSync using rclone's SugarSync backend. In RcloneView, navigate to Remote tab > New Remote and select SugarSync from the provider list. You'll be prompted to authenticate via your SugarSync account credentials, and the token is stored securely in RcloneView's encrypted local storage.

Once connected, your SugarSync folders — including Magic Briefcase and any custom sync folders — appear in the file explorer. Browse folder contents, check file sizes, and perform file management operations using the right-click context menu.

Backup SugarSync to Another Cloud

One compelling use case for connecting SugarSync to RcloneView is cross-cloud backup: copying SugarSync's contents to a secondary provider like Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3. A freelance consultant with years of client documents on SugarSync can configure a weekly sync job to mirror that content to an S3-compatible archive, ensuring redundancy if the primary account ever becomes inaccessible.

RcloneView's sync wizard walks you through source selection, destination setup, filtering options, and scheduling. Enable checksum verification to confirm every transferred file matches its source exactly.

Explore and Organize SugarSync Files

The dual-panel file explorer lets you work with SugarSync and another cloud or local folder side by side. Compare folder contents visually using RcloneView's built-in folder compare feature — find files that exist on one side but not the other, or identify files with size differences that might indicate incomplete syncs.

For large SugarSync libraries with thousands of files, use the file list's sort and filter features to navigate quickly. The footer summary shows total file count and combined storage size at a glance.

Migrate Away from SugarSync

If you're planning to migrate from SugarSync to another provider, RcloneView simplifies the process considerably. Configure a one-time sync job from SugarSync to your target destination, use dry run to preview what will be transferred, then execute the full migration. Job history provides a complete record of files moved.
