SUGARSYNC LAUNCHES ‘UPLOAD BY EMAIL’; ADDS NEW 500 GB STORAGE PLAN
Feb 24, 2010 Apps, Deals, Technology
Email attachments can now sync instantly to multiple computers and smartphones in one easy step
SAN MATEO, CALIF., February 24, 2010 – Sugarsync
Inc., makers of the award-winning Sugarsync
digital sync, backup and sharing service, today unveiled Upload by Email, a new feature designed to dramatically simplify the process of syncing email attachments to a user’s SugarSync ecosystem of computers and smartphones.
The new feature enables a Sugarsync user to sync any email attachment to a dedicated folder in their SugarSync account by simply forwarding it to a special email address. Instantly, the file(s) is available on all synced devices.
“It’s our goal to make your data always available at your fingertips,” said Laura Yecies, chief executive officer at SugarSync. “Upload by Email eliminates the need to download attachments and re-save them. We’re happy to add another way to make sync your most important files easier and more transparent.”
For example, if a user receives an email with many attachments, they can simply forward it to their unique Sugarsync email address (comprised of random numbers and letters for spam protection). All attachments will transfer to their SugarSync account – available on all of their devices immediately. This is much easier than downloading attachments one-by-one.
A user could also provide the unique email address to trusted friends and family or colleagues to upload photos or other documents directly to their PC. The email address can be easily changed from within Sugarsync at any time.
Upload by Email is also a particularly valuable tool to sync a file while traveling. If a user sees an important attachment arrive in their inbox via any mobile phone with email or on a Web-based service, they can forward the email to the unique address. Next time they log into their computer, the attachment will be there, ready and waiting.
Lastly, many business users are plagued by limits to e-mail account sizes. With Upload by E-Mail, a user can forward the attachment and then delete the original e-mail to keep an account under pre-set limits.
For added security, SugarSync will scan all file attachments for viruses prior to syncing, and certain file types are not accepted (e.g., .exe, .cmd, .bat) to prevent malicious files from landing in an account.
SugarSync Raises Storage to 500 GB
The company also unveiled a new 500 GB SugarSync Plan ($39.99/mo, or $399/year USD introductory price). Previously, the highest level of storage available was 250 GB.
“The rate with which we consume gigabits is only increasing,” said Yecies. “Smartphones, with picture and video-taking capabilities, and streaming media services are only adding to this data explosion. As a result, we’ve had many requests for higher-storage accounts. We’re very happy to formalize this plan at an attractive introductory price for power users everywhere.”
Continued Yecies, “SugarSync can easily scale to support larger amounts of data while maintaining the level of control only found with our selective sync technologies. This is critical, because many new devices today, especially netbooks and tablets, are designed with limited local storage. Customers with large amounts of data need to be able to mix-and-match their folder syncing to maximize their storage and have offline access to important files.”
Sugarsync is a flexible syncing and online backup service providing always-connected consumers and busy professionals a powerful way to organize, manage, share and access all their files on-the-go, instantly and securely from any Mac, PC or mobile device.
Sugarsync supports virtually all computer and smartphone operating systems, including Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, Blackberry, and WinMo. This breadth of support ensures that users can choose to work from virtually any device from any location.
About SugarSync:
SugarSync is a powerful sync, sharing and backup solution ideal for busy professionals and digitally-connected consumers. It enables users to access documents, photos and music across all of their devices, including desktops, laptops and smart phones. The company was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.

SiriusXM Radio hits the Blackberry. For realz!
Feb 12, 2010 Apps, Technology
I’ve been an XM Radio subscriber since some time in 2004. My wife and I each have one in our car, I have one in the house and I have the online subscription as well. I thought it rocked when Sirius and XM merged and I was able to get radio margaritaville on the radio. I was a little sad when they released the SiriusXM app for the iPhone as I’m a solid blackberry user, but I don’t have to worry any more.
Forget about the XM app that comes with your phone. It requires an additional subscription (even if you already have XM online) and it doesn’t have all the channels. Instead, hit SiriusXM.com/Blackberry on your device (or even in a browser) to download their app. Don’t worry if you don’t have an account, there’s a free trial avaliable, though the service is pretty cheap with SiriusXM Plans starting around $4.99 a month for the first three months (you save up to $15 that way!) It’s nice to be able to set the radio on one station and leave it there the entire road trip, and now I have it where ever I go!
