Syncplicity

 

What is Syncplicity?

Computer files are unruly creatures. They make you go out of your way to back them up. They demand you remember to copy them to USB drives or email them to yourself so you have them handy. They don’t like being deleted or overwritten and will never come back if that accidentally happens. And the big ones – the worst of their kind – don’t fit everywhere (especially email!) and make sharing them or collaborating on them with others painful at best, impossible at worst.

That’s why we created Syncplicity. Syncplicity puts an end to all the hassles that surround your files and your data, protecting them and ensuring you always have them everywhere you need them – without doing a thing.

What does Syncplicity do?

Syncplicity backs up all your files, keeps them synced and up-to-date across all your computers and computers of people you’ve shared them with, allows you and your friends to access them online (even if your computers are turned off), and can even sync them with Facebook and Google Docs.

In other words, the days of copying, burning, emailing, uploading, downloading, and especially losing your files are now nothing more than a distant memory.

Why should I trust Syncplicity?

Take a look at our website and poke around our forums (login required) to get to know the company better. We started Syncplicity over a year ago with a vision to simplify today’s tedious nature of dealing with files. Our passion is finally becoming reality.

We designed our service and our product with privacy and security in mind from the very beginning. Take a look at our comprehensive Privacy Policy that covers not just your personal information, but also all the data you’re storing in your Syncplicity account.

How secure are my files?

We take security very seriously. From the very moment they leave your computer, your files and information about them are transmitted using the same encryption methods banks and government institutions use (SSL). In our datacenter, each file is encrypted using military grade encryption (AES-256) before it is stored and the random key used in the process is then sent off to an entirely different location as an additional security precaution. When someone requests a file, elaborate verification steps at multiple layers of the system ensure that someone is truly authorized to do so.

Where is my data stored?

All Syncplicity data is stored in the United States. At this time, we do not offer data storage in locations outisde of the US.

Where can I use Syncplicity?

Operating Systems

Syncplicity can be installed on Windows 7, XP, and Vista machines. We're big fans of Mac and Linux, but we have some work to do before we can offer a client for those operating systems. Interested in joining a beta group for a future Linux release? Sign up here! Looking for a Mac version of Syncplicity? Sign up for news and announcements regarding our upcoming Mac beta client.

External and Network Drives

Syncplicity can be used to synchronize information from external drives or NAS (Network-attached storage) devices. While Syncplicity is running on any of these devices, it is important to note that the drives should not be disconnected. Once the external drive is attached, synchronizing the folders follows the same steps as synchronizing from a local machine.

Servers

Syncplicity is designed to work with local computers on local machines, so Syncplicity does not formally support servers running the Syncplicity client. If a user chooses to run Syncplicity on a server, it may be installed on Windows Servers 2003 and 2008, but it does require that a user be actively logged on. Syncplicity does not run as a Windows service; it requires an active session.

Mobile Devices

Mobile devices can access a mobile-friendly version of the Syncplicity online file browser by navigating to m.syncp.com. An iPhone application developed by a third-party is available on the iTunes store.

Online

For users away from their regular computer, Syncplicity files can be accessed, downloaded, and uploaded at the online file browser. More information about using the online file browser is available at Online File Browser.
