Sharpcast is committed to simplifying people’s digital lives, with our revolutionary real-time data synchronization service. Our technology has been called “The Next Killer App” by Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group, and described as “a cool and compelling service that solves a real problem” by Walt Mossberg, the principal technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal.
Sharpcast’s award-winning “push” technology is the only all-in-one platform that offers real-time sync, automatic backup and mobile access of your files, photos, and media — anytime, even if your computer is offline. For example, the platform allows you to play your entire iTunes collection from your mobile phone, any Internet enabled device or computer. You could also take a picture or video from your phone and a copy is instantly saved to a hosted secure personal website, and is also synced with your PC, Mac, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and personal blog simultaneously. It’s the only service that allows you to sync all file types and across all platforms.
After a few years in the making, solving a complex problem, we are proud to launch our 1.0 product this week! The innovation doesn’t stop there though. We still have many new features to add in the future. So come join the team and innovate with us!
