Galaxy S 3 gets free 5GB Sugarsync cloud storage

SAN MATEO, USA: Online back-up and sync service provider SugarSync will now be available on Samsung Galaxy S 3, providing its users 5GB of free cloud storage.

SugarSync Cloud, which is already a part of Samsung's Smart TVs, will be shipped along with the new Galaxy S 3 devices that feature AllShare Play service.

The AllShare Play service allows users to search and play video, photo, and music files across devices such as PCs, TVs, and mobile devices, for free.

Existing SugarSync users will be able to access files, photos, music and movies from the new Samsung devices.

"At SugarSync, we think the mobile experience is very important for users, which is why we have been the leader in mobile innovation for personal cloud and support more mobile devices and platforms than any other Cloud provider," said Laura Yecies, CEO, SugarSync.

The Samsung Galaxy S 3 is the first Samsung mobile device to ship pre-loaded with the AllShare Play service.

"We continue to be selected by large global partners including Samsung, Lenovo, Fujitsu, France Telecom-Orange and more to provide the benefits of the Cloud to their users," added Yecies. "This integration into Samsung's mobile devices will help drive the continued adoption of SugarSync worldwide."
