SugarSync on Tuesday announced an update for their iOS app that adds several new features, including built-in text editing, a new menu bar and improved syncing. SugarSync for iOS is free to download; the service is subscription based.

SugarSync is a cloud-based file synchronization service for Mac, Windows, iOS and (with another Tuesday announcement) Android. SugarSync lets you identify specific files and folders you’d like to synchronize, then lets you manage which devices you’d like to sync the files to.

The update to SugarSync for iOS adds a built-in simple text editor, enabling you to make changes or create simple text files. It also integrates with QuickOffice, Document To Go and other apps for more sophisticated text editing.

The new menu bar helps iOS users sort files, upload photos or create new folders and text files on any computer or shared folder. Photos and videos can be uploaded directly to any folder on any synchronized device.

You can also now select multiple files and folders to sync locally to your device, for offline access – a boon to travelers who are out of range of Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity for extended durations, but who still need to work.

SugarSync is free for up to 5GB of storage; paid plans start at 30GB for $4.99 per month (or $50 per year).
