Cloud applications are a way to enrich the Syncplicity experience so you can view and edit your files through an application on the cloud directly through your browser without needing a program installed on your computer.

To open a file within a cloud application, if you are using the Online File Browser, simply put your mouse over the file and click on the Syncplicity logo that appears. You can also similarly open documents via cloud applications directly from your desktop by right-clicking on a file. Cloud applications which support the type of file you've selected automatically appear in the context menu. Click the application you wish to use and Syncplicity will automatically open the cloud application in a new window.

 Syncplicity will automatically open your chosen application in a web browser, load your document into it, and, when you’re done, sync any changes you make right back to your account.
