SugarSync had its moment, but if you're ready to move on, RcloneView makes migrating to Google Drive or OneDrive simple — with full verification that nothing gets left behind.

SugarSync was once a leading cloud sync service, but many users are looking to move to more widely supported platforms like Google Drive or OneDrive. The challenge is exporting years of data without losing anything. SugarSync doesn't make this easy natively — there's no bulk export tool or cross-cloud migration feature. RcloneView fills this gap.

Why Leave SugarSync?

  • Declining ecosystem — Fewer integrations and updates compared to Google Drive and OneDrive.
  • Better alternatives — Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 offer more storage, better collaboration, and deeper app integration.
  • Cost — SugarSync's pricing is no longer competitive for what it offers.
  • No native export — SugarSync doesn't provide an easy way to download everything or migrate to another cloud.

Connecting SugarSync

  1. Open RcloneView and click Add Remote.
  2. Select SugarSync from the provider list.
  3. Authenticate with your SugarSync credentials.
  4. Save — your SugarSync folders and files are now browsable.
