Editor review

Installation

We think JustCloud has one of the easiest installations processes. Go to the website and download the file. It takes a couple minutes and the backup starts right away without any problem.

Backup

Select which files you want to backup and it will be backed up. We found it very easy to use and control. Our initial backup only took a couple hours. If you decide to allow files over 2MBs to be backed up, your first backup could take awhile.

Restoring files

Using the software to restore is simple to do. Navigate to the file and click 'restore'. This method is also available in the website account area. While on the web you can browse files and download them. If you're on a mobile phone, you can use the mobile website to download files.

Syncing

JustCloud creates a 1GB sync folder when you go through the installation. This folder allows you to sync files across multiple computers.

File sharing

Sharing files is easy. Login to the website (JustCloud account area) and find the file or folder you want to share. The recipient must have a JustCloud account and they can sign up for one for free.

Support

JustCloud chooses to use a ticket system. These can work well if the technicians are fast and responsive. We found it to be pretty good. We prefer being able to use live chat or phone, but the ticket system seems to work.

Conclusion

JustCloud does a great job at keeping things simple. From installation to restoring files, we found that JustCloud does a good job of making the software easy to use, files accessible, and sharing is simple. We like them and think you should give them a try.

Nothing but excuses from supplier. Tried it at first on a Mac Mini - wouldn't do it, so went on to standard PC. Still hasn't backed up 50% of my hard disk. Poor response to complaints. Requested refund, but not received a reply. Firstly offered 3 months free as compensation, but as nothing is backed up, that's wasted. Stay away, and ignore the advert in Stuff! Never been disappointed by any software download other than this. Been a PC builder, repairer and user for 15 years and never written any negative reviews. Sorry it has to be this one!! I agree with the one other reviwer 100%

Pros and Cons

Pros

This justcloud.com is “garbage”!!!, so far I have been using it for 38hrs and all I have uploaded is 19gis, and I have been hitting the upload tab on the little app that is on their site, it’s very crapy little program every 3.5 hrs it will stop uploading. I have 2megs upload and on mediafire I upload a 995meg video file in a little over 63min. Also emailed them twice and they have not gotten back to me. I guess I will be doing a charge back to get my money back.

Cons

go find something better. upload is the worst.
