If you are forgetful or just plain lazy about backing up your documents, SurDoc can keep them safely backed up in the cloud with little effort on your part.
Enter your email address and a password, then agree to the terms of service for SurDoc. Click Submit.
The document manager online console will open. At the top of the screen is a link for the SurDoc Desktop Download. Click the link, then download and install the software.
Once installed, SurDoc will ask you to choose the folders you want to automatically back up. Put a checkmark next to all folders on your computer that you wish to synch with SurDoc. You have 10 GB of space. Click Save when finished.
Your first backup will happen immediately. If you are backing up a large amount of data, expect this first backup to take an hour or so, depending on your Internet connection. After this, backups will occur automatically, without any effort on your part.
You can access your documents from any device at any time by going to SurDoc.com. You can also share documents with friends by clicking the Action button next to any document or folder stored with SurDoc.
SurDoc gives a generous amount of storage space—10 GB, unlike some of our other favorite storage services. While the automated backups work very well, they did seem to put a strain on our computer’s RAM. We did not experience severe speed decreases, but programs did open a bit slower and the heat-sync fan continued to run for several minutes after the first sync with SurDoc completed. Overall, this appears to be a good backup solution for those in need of full automation.
