I have been using a great program for quite some time called SugarSync. SugarSync allows you to sync and backup your files and media across all of your computers, the web and mobile phone. Best of all, SugarSync takes care of everything automatically in the background so you never have to make backups or email files to yourself.

A small client is required on your Windows PC or Mac. The application client runs in the background to monitor and synchronizes a copy on a secure central server. Files can then be available and accessible via web browser directed to http://sugarsync.com/or from a mobile phone browser at http://m.sugarsync.com/.

Following that link on the iPhone will tell you why it is such a great web app to use for your iPhone. The staff over at Sharcast want to make it clear that the same features for your desktop or laptop PC or Mac are also available on your mobile. However, for use iPhone users, the syncing from the iPhone is not yet there, however, when you log on using your iPhone, you will be able to see all your pictures that were synced with any of your computers. You will see your files and any changes made to that file, and you will also be able to see your documents. It is pretty nice.

It is with great joy by the Sharpcast team that they were given a very prestigious award for the Most Innovative Consumer Application or Service.  They are extremely excited about this since it is external validation from many industry experts about the promise of the product. A press release was issued today indicating just how excited they were to give this award to the Sharpcast team. “

We are thrilled with the number of high-quality entries we received for the Americas leg of the 2009 Mobile Innovation Global Award Competition,” said Bill Gajda, chief commercial officer of the GSMA. Our congratulations to Sharpcast for being selected as the Top Innovator in the Most Innovative Consumer Application or Service category, and all the winners and participants for making the awards and the Mobile Innovation Marketplace in Atlanta a great success.”

Of course, as mentioned, they are very proud of what they have done. Gibu Thomas, chief executive officer of Sharpcast.

“The ability to leave your laptop at home and still be able to view and share your files and media and even control your computers remotely right from your phone is one of the reasons SugarSync stands apart from its competition. We’re proud the GSM Association has recognized this.”

If you would like to get your hands on SugarSync, it is available for free download with a free 45-day trial at http://www.sugarsync.com. I’m sure with the upcoming release of the iPhone 2.0 software, it is only a matter of time before they a wonderful native application.
