SugarSync’s powerful software-service combination gives people the easiest way to keep digital media and files automatically in sync across multiple computers, backed up online and remotely accessible from their mobile phones or through any web browser.
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 sync” technology is the only all-in-one platform that offers real-time sync, automatic backup and mobile access to your files, photos, and media — anytime, even if your computer is offline.

Imagine being able to take a picture or video from your phone and have it instantly synced to Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and your personal blog simultaneously. Sharpcast’s service does all of this and more! We have the only service which allows you to sync all file types and across all platforms.
