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 that support the .NET 3.0 framework (more information here). Looking for a Mac version of Syncplicity? We currently support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and Lion (10.7) on Intel CPUs.
External and Network Drives
Syncplicity does not recommend synchronizing information from external drives or NAS (Network-attached storage) devices. However, it can be used to populate data for the first time from these devices. While Syncplicity is running on any of these devices, it is important to note that the drives should not be disconnected, otherwise it could lead to severe synchronization problems.
Servers
Syncplicity can be installed on Windows Server 2003 and 2008. Syncplicity requires an active user session - either a console session or a remote terminal session. See our Tips & Tricks section for more information on using Syncplicity with servers.
Mobile Devices
We currently support our application on iPhone and iPad.
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.
