Wether you&#8217;re a student or parent, things are about to get a lot crazier. This means it&#8217;s more likely that someone will forget their homework on the computer at home. If you want to avoid running across campus or across town, you need a SugarSync account, and our giveaway can help you get even more storage.</p>
<h2>What is SugarSync?</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.sugarsync.com">SugarSync</a> is an easy way to backup files to the cloud, sync them to multiple computers and share large files with friends and family. You get 5GB for free when you sign up, but we are giving away a 30GB account so you can store even more files. SugarSync has apps for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry, so you can have your files with you anywhere.</p>
<p>For more, check out out <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/05/04/sugarsync-review-back-up-and-sync-with-multiple-computers-better-than-dropbox/">SugarSync review</a>.</p>
<h2>How You Can Use SugarSync</h2>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-59390" title="sugarsync grad gift" src="http://notebooks.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/sugarsync.png" alt="Grad Gift high school" width="260" height="190" />I use SugarSync to share files with coworkers, pics of friend&#8217;s kids and keep my files in sync with multiple computers. I also use it to share files with students.</p>
<p>College students can use it to back up all their important files and gain access from anywhere with an internet connection, like in class when you need to try to do a last minute change.</p>
<p>Parents can use this to keep their kids&#8217; files on hand from their phone or from work. This way, if you get a panicked call or text, you can email the homework assignment to your student or their teacher without heading home.</p>
<h2>How to Enter</h2>
<p>Leave a <strong>comment</strong> below telling us why SugarSync would be a back to school life saver for you or your family.</p>
<p>For an <strong>extra chance</strong>, follow <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/notebookscom">@Notebookscom</a> and tweet the following;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Pour some #SugarSync on me &#8211; I entered to win a 30GB account on @Notebookscom - http://wp.me/p1Djdz-gIp&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>You can also enter over on <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/?p=70187">GottaBeMobile</a> for another two chances at winning.</p>
<p>You have until Wednesday September 14th at midnight Pacific to enter. Contest open to any area where t is legal and SugarSync subscriptions are accepted. The winner has 5 business days to respond and claim their prize or an alternate winner will be chosen.</p>
