SugarSync : redesigned UI and yummy new features
The cloud storage market is getting more and more crowded. The current edition of SugarSync online backup service is good but it does indeed look antique after you take a look at what is next. First up, lets see what is new in this version. Well — a lot, actually. In short:
- An entirely new and simplified user interface
- Faster, easier ways to sync folders across devices
- Enhanced sharing
- A new one-stop shop, called the SugarSync Drive, for accessing everything you have in SugarSync
- A great new photo gallery feature for viewing photos
Here are a few details: SIMPLIFIED USER INTERFACE A completely redesigned interface gives both the SugarSync desktop application and the SugarSync web app a more integrated look and feel, and makes it easier to use SugarSync. New aspects include:
- Search function. Now you can search files and folders across your computers and cloud
- Cloud tab, for managing all your sync folders
- Sharing tab, for seeing what others have shared with you and what you have shared with others
- Activity tab, for viewing your most recent activity, including syncing and sharing information
- Info Panel, which provides you with one-click access to manage your data
FASTER, EASIER WAYS TO SYNC YOUR FOLDERS ACROSS DEVICES SugarSync 2.0 Beta makes it faster and easier to sync your folders across computers, mobile devices, and the cloud.
- Drag and drop any folder onto the blue space in the Cloud tab and it will start syncing
- Save space on your computer by converting a synced folder to a cloud-only folder
ENHANCED SHARING
- Share folders as private folders with a few select individuals, or as public links with everybody. Public links can be forwarded and are a great way to make your content instantly available to a wide audience.
- Drag and drop any folder or file onto the blue space in the Sharing tab, select who to share with, and you’re done!
- All new Contacts sub-tab under the Sharing menu. You can even drag a folder over your contact name to share with that contact.
SUGARSYNC DRIVE: NEW ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ACCESSING EVERYTHING
- Access all of your files with SugarSync Drive — even the folders that do not sync to your computers — directly from Windows File Explorer and Mac Finder and directly from all of your applications.
COMPLETELY REDESIGNED PHOTO VIEWING EXPERIENCE
- Take a look at our brand new photo gallery, which enables you and whoever you share with to see your photos in three modes: gallery view, large view, or full-screen view.
