SugarSync today announced the launch of an updated version of the popular SugarSync for BlackBerry app, enabling people to stream music from their cloud-based SugarSync storage account to their BlackBerry handheld devices.
SugarSync for BlackBerry features the ability to remotely access, open and easily share your computer files, including documents, photos and more stored in a SugarSync account. With an appropriate document editor, files can be edited as well and synced back.
With the new version, people may stream non-DRM protected music – synced from their computers to the cloud -“ directly to their BlackBerry handheld device, and save local storage for favorite tunes, photos, videos, and more. The built-in music player enables people to play full sets, not just single songs.
“BlackBerry is a tremendous productivity device, and SugarSync’s file sharing and remote access features are ideal for the busy professional on the go,” said Laura Yecies, CEO of SugarSync. “Yet as the boundaries between work and life are blurring, we also want access to our personal stuff. We want to relax with our music, to share photos of the family. SugarSync helps bridge this gap, and cloud music streaming is the latest proof of our commitment to keep our customers connected – at home, at work, and on the road.”
The new version also includes email auto-complete, a time-saver feature which allows people to even more quickly share a files with colleagues or friends, as well as performance enhancements and bug fixes.
The SugarSync for BlackBerry app is available now in the BlackBerry App World for free. SugarSync also offers a free 2 GB version of the full service, with 30 GB plans starting from $4.99/month.
