SugarSync is a cloud service that enables active synchronization of files across computers and other devices for file backup, access, syncing, and sharing from a variety of operating systems, such as Android, iOS, Mac OS X, and Windows devices. For Linux, only a discontinued unofficial third-party client is available. The program automatically refreshes its sync by constantly monitoring changes to files—additions, deletions, edits—and syncs these changes with the SugarSync servers. Any other linked devices then also sync with the SugarSync servers.〔(Sharpcast wants to free your data - Alpha Blog - alpha.cnet.com ).〕 Deleted files are archived in a "Deleted Files" folder. The files are not actually deleted until the user does so manually.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://support.sugarsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/202248030-Removing-files-from-SugarSync )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cobe.boisestate.edu/cobeit/files/2012/04/SugarSync-FAQs.pdf )〕 Originally offering a free 5 GB plan and several paid plans, the company transitioned to a paid-only model on February 8, 2014. Under the new model, the company offered temporary promotional pricing and encouraged subscribers to use subscription auto-renewal. However the auto-renewal takes place at the non-promotional rate and no refunds are allowed through the new model.〔http://www.sugarsync.com/terms.html〕 Moreover, if the account cannot be auto-renewed due to expiration of a credit card or some other change in payment terms, the account is automatically cancelled and the data deleted from the company's servers at the same time the account is cancelled. If emailed warnings are not received SugarSync will delete a company's entire cloud-computing storage account. Sugarsync was acquired by J2 Global in March 2015. 〔http://investor.j2global.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=903006〕 ==Company history== SugarSync was born out of a company named Sharpcast, which was incorporated in 2004 by Gibu Thomas (CEO) and Ben Strong (Chief technical officer). In 2006, Sharpcast unveiled Sharpcast Photos, a tool for synchronizing images between multiple devices including PCs and mobile phones. Both founders left the company in November 2008. In December 2008, Laura Yecies was appointed as the CEO. Yecies and her team re-focused the company and renamed it SugarSync in 2009. In March 2013 Mike Grossman took over as CEO. In his self-introductory blog he promised to focus the business on mobile, sharing and collaboration, and enhancing the sync and mirrored capabilities of the product. The blog post was inundated with requests for a Linux client such that the top Google result for searches relating to SugarSync on Linux returned Mr Grossman's introductory message.〔(Allow me to introduce myself - Mike Grossman's Introductory Blog post )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SugarSync」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
