SpiderOak allows you to backup, share, and synchronize your files across Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
Backup in Place – you can backup your files from where they are located on your hard drive. That means no cutting a pasting files into separate backup folders like you have to do with DropBox.

Secure Backup – Sure every backup service provides encrypted backup, but SpiderOak takes things one step further with their zero-knowledge.


Sync From Multiple Drives – You can backup from network, removable and external hard drives.

Fast Sync – syncing seemed pretty quick. Once you have the file uploaded, the sync process runs quietly in the background and goes into action when it notices that the file has been changed.

No Limit of File Size  – SpiderOak lets you upload individual files of any size (DropBox limits you to 300MB through their website application).  

File Compression – What makes the sync so quick is the file compression that SpiderOak runs on your files. That means quicker upload time as well as more space to play with.


Version History – It means that SpiderOak will keep complete version history of every file – accessible by date-stamp – just in case you accidentally save over a file or would like to go back in time. In addition, you can restore files from your SpiderOak recycle bin in case you’ve had second thoughts about deleting them.

Multiple OS Functionality – SpiderOak plays nice with Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Work done on your home PC will sync with your Mac in the office and vice versa. 

Backup Without Sync – If you have certain files, like account backups, that you need to backup but they don’t need to be synced.

Backup Scheduling – It may not seem a major feature, but for those using ISP’s that have download and upload caps, backup scheduling is manna from heaven. That means I can schedule my backups to run after midnight when there are no caps on my satellite Internet service.


Share Rooms – SpiderOak allows you to create share rooms, where you can share files with clients and friends. Each room is protected with a unique RoomKey that can be entered from the SpiderOak webpage. 

2GB Free – Similar to DropBox, SpiderOak gives you a free 2GB of backup space to play with. For more heavy users you can buy 100 GB increments for $10 a month each. That means 300 GB will cost you $30/month. There is also a referral system in place that will allow you to increase your free 2 GB allotment by recommending the service to others
