Unlimited Storage Released by SugarSync

SugarSync,
Inc., a cloud service that lets you access, sync and share
all of your files and folders across all your computers and mobile devices, announced
a new pricing and capacity structure for its business accounts.

The new SugarSync for business plan includes a price of $550-per-year (or
$55-per-month), which includes three users and unlimited storage.

In addition to uncapped scaling of cloud
storage capacity to meet a business’ growth and demand, companies can add an
unlimited number of users at any time for $125 per additional seat, and with a few clicks.

"Businesses
of all sizes use SugarSync to accelerate productivity and collaboration,"
said Laura Yecies, CEO of SugarSync. "We
have witnessed the ultimate example of consumerization of IT over the past
year, including tremendous adoption of our service by businesses that are
storing more and more data in the Cloud each day. We want to allow companies of
all sizes and their teams to have the capacity they need at an affordable
price, without having to worry about quotas or storage."

SugarSync enables its tens of thousands of
business customers to access, sync and share folders and
files from any device on any platform, even the desktop – without forcing users
and groups to work out of a single folder like other solutions do.

SugarSync’s
business plan features include:

• Unlimited Storage: Scalability of
  capacity to meet the demands of businesses of all sizes.
• Unlimited Users: New support for
  unlimited seats to meet the needs of large organizations.
• Flexible Sync: Sync any file or
  folder across any device. Just select something to sync and forget about it; it
  works automatically in the background.
• Collaboration: Send files of any
  size from any of your devices, to anyone. Choose read-only or add/edit
  permissions for everything you share.
• Trusted and Secure: File transfers
  use TLS (SSL 3.3) encryption. Data is stored in multiple carrier-grade (SAS 70,
  Type II) data centers using 128-bit AES encryption.
• Mobile Access: No extra charge for
  unlimited devices. Access your files using any Web browser or SugarSync mobile
  apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android, Blackberry, Symbian
  and Windows Mobile (with Windows Phone coming soon)
• Admin Dashboard: Add seats at any
  time, monitor user activity, assign storage limit per account, and more.
• DR: Backup, restore and sync your
  data after a hard drive crash. Multiple stored versions of every file. Full
  automated backup.
• Free Live Support: Real, helpful
  humans. You can chat, email or use our toll-free phone support.
• Easy Billing: Consolidate all those
  accounts. Single-point billing allows you to manage your billing online.
• Outlook Plug-in: Save email storage
  by sending links to files directly from Outlook instead of bulky attachments.

For those who would like to test drive the
business service, SugarSync offers companies a free 30-day trial.

"SugarSync
makes it seamless for our 130-plus users to all stay in sync, and to share and
access data across groups and the entire company," said Ryan Smith, helpdesk
manager for RichRelevance, Inc., provider of dynamic personalization for large retailers. "It’s
a very powerful, flexible and secure cloud service that greatly enhances the
way we do business."

SugarSync recently unveiled its 2.0 version
of the product, including new features that make it easier than ever for groups
to share and find files. This includes drag-and-drop sharing; link sharing of
large folders; a ‘SugarSync Drive’ capability that allows users to
see their entire SugarSync Cloud right in their file systems, and an enhanced
search functionality to quickly search all folders and data on all computers
and devices, as well as the ability to search content that other team members
have shared.

The company is hiring for its
business sales and support teams.
