MyPC Backup stands out for its accessibility, price and customer service. MyPC Backup created a simple interface that takes mere minutes to get set up and is as intuitive to a user as can be. Users are given the opportunity to do manual backups or schedule automatic backups, which are conveniently logged so users can track all of their past activity.

Data storage is unlimited after signing up and users can sync up to 1GB (5GB with an upgraded plan) between their computers, which is ideal for creating a shared workspace for an office. MyPC Backup users can also utilize their SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to provide users with a safe file transfer channel. Enabling this may cause uploads to slow down slightly, but the added measure of security is priceless.

The software’s easy-to-use look is appealing to anyone — from a novice to an expert — the simplicity is a refreshing user experience. Files upload quite quickly and are re-downloaded even faster. MyPC Backup also provides users with an interface for their smartphones to access files on the go.

MyPC Backup’s search function is an invaluable component of its service, allowing you find clandestine files in seconds.

Overall, MyPC Backup excels where so many data storage services have missed the mark. They keep true to the privacy stands expected by consumers in this age and will set precedent for future generations of online storage services through setting the bar a notch above the rest.
