This document provides instructions for using SugarSync, a file sharing and cloud storage program. SugarSync allows users to create a shared "Magic Briefcase" folder that syncs files across multiple devices. Key features include: easy installation, access to files from any device with an internet connection, ability to share individual files or entire folders with others. The document outlines the step-by-step process for setting up a SugarSync account, downloading the program, using the Magic Briefcase folder to sync files, and sharing or backing up files through the SugarSync web interface.

1. Technology for the 21st Century
SugarSync
Éste es un programa basado tela y un uso downloadable que comencé a usar el año pasado.
Permite que cree una carpeta en mi tablero del escritorio que pueda utilizar para ahorrar los archivos
(documentos de la palabra, videos, música, cuadros, powerpoints, cualquier cosa). Cuando descargo
SugarSync para trabajar la computadora, el ordenador personal y los teléfonos tendré acceso a mis
archivos dondequiera que vaya. Con la función de la parte usted puede también permitir que la gente
vea archivos particulares y realice cambios.
Positivos:
Fácil y rápido instalar puede tener acceso a archivos con la función de la parte del Internet nunca se
vaya sin un archivo Libre
Negativos:
Más espacio de disco cuesta el dinero (solamente le no necesitará muy probablemente
más espacio) Lleva tiempo los archivos de la sinc. Usted tiene que recordar colocar el archivo en su
“cartera mágica”

syncing together multiple computers such as home, work, laptop, and phone.
15. I am not selecting any folders to sync up because I do not want SugarSync to access them. I am
only interested in SugarSync making a unique folder that I can have on each computer.
SugarSync will call this the "Magic Briefcase".
16. After clicking next you will be brought to a Sugar Sync Tour. You can skip the tour or take it,
your choice.

that shows all the files you in your Magic Briefcase. This will be the same on every computer
you have loaded SugarSync.

loaded computers) just click and drag the file into the open folder.

21. To share a file select the file and then click on Share at the top of the window. It will open up an
internet window (see below). Type in the email address of the person you want to share with as
well as a message if you would like. Right now you are saying this looks like an email with an
attachment. This is true, however, many email programs (our school outlook included) have a
maximum file size you can send. SugarSync will allow you to share large files like complex
powerpoints and movies.
Type the email here

be accessed any ware with internet access.

Folder you will send an email to another person. This person will have to sign up for SugarSync
but then will be able to place the folder on their computer. When they make changes to the
files on the folder it will also make changes to the files on your computer. This would allow you
to collaborate with other teachers to make a test, homework assignment, powerpoint
presentation, movie, and so on. Neat huh?
