SpiderOak combines online backup, secure file sync and easy sharing in a
cloud based service. Desktop clients are available for Windows, Mac OS X
and multiple Linux distributions. Several gigabyte of free storage
become available after account creation and can be upgraded to a 100+ GB
for a monthly or yearly fee. SpiderOak consolidates several
functionalities into one tool: free online backup, remote access,
synchronization, sharing and storage. Data backups can run from local
hard-drives as well as network drives, USB keys, external drives,
CD/DVDs and other storage media. In order to prevent 3rd party access,
all data is stored encrypted and transferred encrypted via a secure SSL
connection. All of these features are available for both the free and
the subscription service.
