CDs, USB sticks and other storage devices are slowly becoming obsolete, due to cloud synchronization services. There are many options you can choose from if you wish to transfer or share files faster. An excellent choice is Seafile, which can upload your data without too much user input. Once your files are uploaded and synchronized, you will be able to access them from anywhere in the world or share them with your friends.

A clean and simple functionality is what you can expect if you decide to use Seafile. Its user interface resembles an instant messenger, but instead of contacts, it displays your synchronized folders, along with options for accessing their location on the hard drive or in the cloud, synchronizing them on demand, un-synchronizing them, pausing the automatic synchronization process and more. You can find these options above the folders list or in a pop-up menu, after right clicking a folder.

Besides viewing a list of all synchronized libraries, you can also view recently uploaded folders and private shares, on the same user interface. New libraries can be uploaded by simply dragging and dropping a folder over the user interface. This will bring up a small window, on which you can input a different path, type in a different name, a description and encrypt and password-protect the library.

Uploaded folders are monitored at all times and if you add new files or modify existing ones, the application will synchronize them automatically. The contents of uploaded libraries can be viewed on a web browser, from any computer or from various mobile devices. Files are listed together with options for downloading or updating them and for sharing them via direct link or email. Additionally, the web interface provides you with various information, like recent activities, messages, contacts, connected devices and much more.

Pros

You can upload one or more libraries to the cloud without any effort. The application can synchronize folders automatically, when you add or modify data. Uploaded files can be accessed from anywhere in the world, on computers or mobile devices.

Cons

You get only one GB of storage space with a free account. With Seafile's smart functionality, you will be able to make your files available anywhere in the world, on a wide variety of platforms.
