SugarSync opens business accounts

Recently we wrote about to leading file collaboration services - DropBox and Box.net. Now it's time to add to this short list one more tool - SugarSync. During the last few months this service added some very important features: good version control system, free 2Gb subscription plan, iPhone and Android apps and the suitable file sending feature. And yesterday they unveiled business accounts that enable to administrate up to 100 user accounts - the feature that is much expected from DropBox. Besides the ability to create/delete user accounts, administrator can set storage limits for each user (and receive alerts when user is near limit) and easily scale the whole company storage volume. And of course, all payments are centralized.

SugarSync can sync files between several computers and mobile devices. The desktop client works on Windows and Mac. All files and collaboration tools are also available through the web interface. When stored and transferred, all data is encrypted. SugarSync allows to schedule automated backup, send large files and collaborate on files with co-workers. But the service is quite expensive: the business account, including 3 users and 100Gb will cost $30 per month. Each additional user is $10 per month extra.
