Simple Help Contest - Win a 30GB annual SugarSync account

Mac Windows Windows Mobile

I would give SugarSync a review here, but Shankar over at KillerTechTips has already done it. SugarSync is almost hard to describe, it does so many different things. Here’s a rundown -

  • Multi Computer Sync (PC, Mac)
  • Keep files in sync across PCs and Macs. Your computers don’t have to be online at the same time. You can even sync without permanently copying files on all computers.

  • Remote Access to Your Files
  • Leave your computer at home. Access your files on your personal website from any web browser, even if your computer is offline. Changes made remotely automatically sync back.

  • Mobile Phone Access and Sync
  • Access your computer (PC or Mac) on your BlackBerry, Windows Mobile or iPhone device. Share files on the go. You can even sync photos between your computer and phone.

  • Automatic Online File Backup
  • Every 3 seconds, someone suffers a hard drive crash. Get the peace of mind that your files, photos and media are continuously backed up to a secure online vault and kept instantly up-to-date.

    Here are the contest details. Sign up for a free 10GB 45 day SugarSync account (doesn’t require a credit card or anything like that, the signup is actually quite painless). Give SugarSync a try.

    Then come back here and leave a comment with a feature you’d like to see added. If you have more than one feature request, put them all in the same comment. For multiple feature requests, you’ll be entered into the draw twice. And what do the winners get? A one-year, 30GB SugarSync account - for free. That’s a $49.99 value, just for requesting new features. The added bonus is that every one of the feature requests will be emailed by me to SugarSync - and they’ll actually be considered. I’ll pick two random winners on Friday, May 30th at 9:00AM EST. Make sure to use a real email address when you leave a comment so that I can contact you if you’re one of the lucky winners (in the Email Address field, not in the comment itself).

    SugarSync Requirements:

    Windows XP or Vista
    Mac OS X 10.4 and higher
    BlackBerry: Curve, Pearl, 8800 Series
    All Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 phones

    Example Feature Suggestions

    This are my feature requests, no you can’t use them as your own :)

  • In the Windows Mobile client, don’t force users to open the camera via SugarSync - allow SugarSync to monitor a folder (or multiple folders) for changes, and upload those files.
  • Again for the Windows Mobile version, add the Magic Briefcase
  • In the OS X client, allow for just the menu icon. I like to have a fairly “clean” dock, and don’t really want the SugarSync icon in my dock all the time
  • SugarSync really is a solid product.

    SugarSync is simply awesome service especially with their magic briefcase. Looks like they are giving away free account for most of the blogs. I’m also running the similar contest. :-)
