In the modern technological times, data is most important. So, it is the time to have a look at the best methods to secure our data online. We also keep our clients and customer data, financial records, personal information and even photos and videos on our computers. Unfortunately, many incidents may result in you losing such data if it is stored on your computer. Not only for PC’s backup is also important for smartphones too. Using SpiderOak One anyone can easily backup the data on PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS to the cloud without any hassle.

Why SpiderOak One Cloud Storage?

While you can’t sling a desktop computer on your back and take it home with you, there are plenty of options for moving data between devices if you need to.

Cloud storage is a most common word these days. Everyone is started enjoying benefits of cloud computing with a number of free and paid cloud services. Most cloud services are offering a ton of free storage space upon signup. Some are very robust security oriented and some are easy to access from anywhere support with multiple platforms.

To start with, there are the malicious hackers who may break into your computer and steal the information. There are also viruses that may infect your computer and corrupt your data. Then there are the natural and other disasters like fires, water, falls and power surges, all of which may render your computer unusable.

This calls for regular data backups. You should ensure that you regularly make copies of your important data and information and then store it in a remote location where you can access it and even use it to restore your computer in case of such incidents as outlined in the previous paragraph.

This program offers you the ability to automate the backup process 100% via a scheduling feature. What this does is that it offers you a way to set a specific date or time when your computer should backup your files. You can set this to be on a daily basis, weekly basis, after a few months, or in any other way you deem fit depending on the nature of your data. Also, this one works with all platforms and sync your data across all your devices.

User Interface

The main user interface of SpiderOak One is well designed and intuitive. You get all features access from a single dashboard without any confusion. However, I feel the user interface is a little bit addled to novice users. However, the user can manage to understand the options after checking the program for few times.

The main dashboard user interface contains 5 major tabs at the top. The first tab is itself Dashboard, the second is Backup, third is Manage, fourth is Sync and lastly, the fifth one is Share.
