Are Free Syncing Tools Safe?

CodeTwo Public Folders - safe networkEvery day billions of people are exposing their precious data to the vast audience in the Internet. Mostly, they do it consciously and according to their will. But it often happens that some Web users, by trusting (too much) the software they use, reveal crucial corporate data to their business competition or hackers. How come? You must have heard about the case described in this article on Computerworld. The dial-in number and pass code to the weekly internal communication meeting at McKinsey & Co. became public in the Web by placing it in Google Calendar by one of the McKinsey’s employees. A silly mistake, one might have thought… Maybe it was, but the case shows clearly that free sync tools provided by such companies as Google suffer a huge lack of security.

Cloud Computing – Friend or Foe?

In 1995, when the Internet was still too young and too slow, I thought that maybe in the future it might be possible to have just a monitor and keyboard, and keep all hardware and software far from home in a distant location which is supervised by a fully qualified IT staff. I thought it’s a distant future and I was looking through rose-colored glasses.

Today, the idea of Cloud Computing is not only technically possible but it even becomes ubiquitous. Hundreds of companies all around the world already use SaaS models (Software as a Service) instead of using e.g. Exchange, SharePoint or SQL Servers since they think it saves time and money. Is it true? Well… the boot is on the other foot actually. It turns out that companies providing Cloud Computing services hardly ever guarantee a 100 per cent protection.

Wouldn’t you feel unsafe to keep your belongings, documents, years of your work in somebody else’s house? And believe those guys provide a full-time access, fire/burglar (virus) protection and that they don’t read and sell your data?

Take a look at this PCWORLD article about a company that lost millions and almost went bust because they had thought they would save on Cloud Computing.

We still believe that boundless trust in the internet security is just not right. Thus we develop CodeTwo Public Folders which is very easy to use and protects your files for free since it keeps them in your own network. If you’re looking for an inexpensive alternative to Exchange and want to share Outlook data and enhance your teamwork, you have to give it a go.

CodeTwo Public Folders vs Google Sync & Google Calendar Sync

Selecting alternatives and making decisions based on them is not easy. The most difficult part is the research you have to do before you make up your mind. It would be great if someone else made all research for you and your part would just boil down to read a comparison, count pros and cons, and then just to make a simple mathematical equation. If you ever needed to compare free Google Sync Apps with CodeTwo Public Folders, take a look at this comparison.

CodeTwo Public Folders is a team management software both for companies and home offices. It synchronizes all Outlook items in real time, between many computers. Moreover, it protects your data from loss or an unauthorized access as it keeps all shared files in your own network. Google Sync and Google Calendar Sync are great and freeware solutions but are considered by some users as unsafe and unprofessional.
