Attachments Are Old: SugarSync's Public Links Provide Immediate File Sharing
SAN MATEO, CA, Sep 30, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Sharpcast, Inc. today announced that SugarSync, the leading digital
life management service, will now provide public links for users to
instantly share files from their SugarSync accounts. Public links
provide unlimited direct downloads, which allow SugarSync users to be
more productive and to increase the viral potential of their shared
files on popular social media platforms, such as Twitter or Facebook.
SugarSync's public download links provide a powerful service for
people to effortlessly share large files such as PowerPoint
presentations, videos, music and photos. There are no limits on the
number of times that files can be downloaded, making the service
particularly useful to those who have a large number of social media
connections or who frequently need to share files professionally.
Account owners will also be able to see how many people have
downloaded the file and can turn off the download link whenever they
choose, giving them complete visibility and control over the file's
activity.
Public links provide a seamless process for sharing and downloading
files. Rather than emailing large attachments or waiting for files to
upload before being ready to be shared, active download links are
accessible in the SugarSync desktop application by simply right
clicking on any file synced in a user's account. Users who are away
from their computer can generate public links from their SugarSync
Web portal. Recipients of the link can immediately download the
file, without having to navigate through landing pages or additional
websites. Users of paid accounts will be able to share files up to
2GB and free accounts will be able to share files up to 5MB.
"SugarSync's public download links will be one of the easiest and
most efficient ways to share files online and are another big step for
digital life management," said Laura Yecies, chief executive officer
at Sharpcast. "Whether our users want to distribute a portfolio of
work to clients and prospective customers or Tweet a picture, song or
video for all of their followers to be able to download, we designed
public links to make all of our users more productive and flexible
with how they can share files online."
SugarSync's flexible syncing solution provides always-connected
consumers and busy professionals a powerful way to organize, manage,
share and access all their files on-the-go, instantly and securely
from any Mac, PC or mobile device. SugarSync can sync files by
folder, making it easy for users to organize and manage their digital
lives. SugarSync's other collaboration tools, like the folder sharing
feature, allow users to share any folder or file with controlled
access to anyone they choose.
