"Cloud-based storage service\u00A0SugarSync has updated its iOS app today with a new interface and concise menu system, making it easier to find files shared with a specific device or set of users.\r\n\r\nSugarSync overhauled its desktop applications last November, ditching a rather confusing system - which looked and acted like an external drive - in favor of a clean, trimmed down client.\r\n\r\nThe new mobile app for iPhone and iPad has adopted the same overarching design aesthetic and color scheme which results in a simpler and more productive experience.\r\n\r\nA quick horizontal swipe reveals a hidden menu listing the most common actions when interacting with SugarSync. The \u2018Content\u2019 sub-menu reveals all of the folders and files saved to the cloud, in a file-hierarchy not too dissimilar to Dropbox or Google Drive.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe \u2018Photos\u2019 selection underneath works as you would expect, bringing all of your images together in a single location for easy access.\r\n\r\nThe strength of SugarSync has always been its wide range of customization options and the ability not only to see what files are stored in the cloud, but which devices are accessing them.\r\n\r\nThrow in its one-step sharing functionality, however, and it\u2019s easy to get a little lost figuring out where a specific document originated from, or the source of a particular file.\r\n\r\nSugarSync has tried to solve this in its new iOS iteration by adding a device filter. The \u2018Content\u2019 selection now has a drop-down that makes it easy to view all of the folders saved to your SugarSync account, or a sub-set that\u2019s synced to another device.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSharing files and folders has also been simplified, with dedicated options in the side-menu called \u201CShared by Me\u201D and \u201CShared with Me\u201D sections. Again, it's an attempt to simplify the experience while retaining its broad functionality and options.\r\n\r\nCloud Search is another new feature located at the top of the side-menu. SugarSync says it\u2019s \u201Cone of the most requested enhancements to date\u201D and gives users the ability to find and access any synced file or folder. Results are automatically grouped into different categories such as folders, documents and photos, giving broad queries some form of structure.\r\n\r\nSugarSync has also added what it\u2019s describing as an \u2018open in\u2019 feature which allows users to open and save files from other apps. The idea being that if you receive a PDF file via email, it\u2019s possible to save this to the cloud almost immediately.\r\n\r\nThe updated app is available now from the App Store.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 SugarSync | iOS\r\n\r\nDisclosure: This article contains an affiliate link.
