Syncplicity Launches Affordable, No-Brainer Always-in-Sync Backup and Sharing Solution
Simple "set-it-then-forget-it" design allows seamless backup,
syncing and sharing of pictures, videos, music and documents to
secure, anywhere-access "cloud storage" with unlimited capacity;
Google Docs stay in sync with PC documents for viewing and editing
even when there's no connection.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 15, 2008 --
Syncplicity today introduced the first personal sync, backup and
sharing solution with unlimited storage at an affordable, flat rate
price. Users will never be separated from their documents and files
again, making any computer truly personal. Syncplicity provides
unlimited storage space to upload, backup, share and stay in sync with
documents, pictures, songs, videos, browser bookmarks and any other
type of file. It is also the first program to sync beyond the desktop,
bridging the divide between the online and offline worlds.
Syncplicity is available today for Windows users in a free trial
for 60 days. Simply download the program at www.syncplicity.com. After
the trial, Syncplicity is available for a monthly fee that will be
announced towards the end of the trial.
In addition to the Syncplicity program, Windows and Mac users
alike can instantly access their content remotely using Syncplicity's
File Explorer from any web browser. A Macintosh version of the client
program is in development for release this summer.
Bridging The Offline/Online Divide
Unlike other sync and backup services, Syncplicity is more than a
glorified online file copier that merely shuttles documents and
pictures back and forth between PCs and the Internet. Syncplicity is
the first web-based development platform to offer true
synchronization. It integrates with Facebook Photos and Google Docs
today. Other pioneering sync connections, including social networking
sites, are coming soon. Their open standards platform allows other
companies to simply and easily integrate their products with
Syncplicity's platform.
True synchronization means a word processing document started in
Google Docs through a web browser will automatically be synced to a
person's laptop and can be reopened in Microsoft Word during a flight,
where there is no Internet access.
Once on the ground and online again, Syncplicity automatically
synchronizes additions and changes between the laptop and Google Docs,
bringing them together as one. Simply put, Syncplicity erases the need
for users to think about whether documents are offline or online,
where they are located, or which version is the newest. With
Syncplicity, documents just are -- whether created with Microsoft Word
on a desktop PC, or opened in a web browser from another computer with
Google Docs.
Syncplicity makes sharing content with others easier than ever --
a simple click of the mouse to give others instant access to any
folder. Users who visit the shared folder simply drag-and-drop items
to their own desktops. What's more, users also running Syncplicity on
their own computers will automatically see shared files as if they
were their own.
Simple Installation, Intelligent Optimization and Conflict Resolution
Installing and setting up Syncplicity is a cinch: Download the
small program from www.syncplicity.com, install it, accept the
intelligent defaults or set which documents, pictures, music and other
files to keep in sync -- then forget it. Syncplicity does the rest,
silently working behind the scenes to keep all documents and files
safely backed up and in perfect sync whenever anything is added,
changed, or deleted.
Thanks to its highly optimized design, Syncplicity never slows
down the user's computer or Internet connection -- in fact, users
won't even notice it's running. At the same time, Syncplicity
thoughtfully prioritizes which documents and files are most critical,
making sure those are synchronized and backed up first.
Through intelligent conflict resolution, Syncplicity handles the
problem of what happens when two or more people make changes to the
same document. In the past, syncing programs overwrote the older file.
Syncplicity solves this problem by detecting conflicted documents and
ensuring work is never lost.
Seriously Secure
With all of a user's important files online, security is crucial
-- and Syncplicity takes security very seriously. Unlike other
services, Syncplicity's comprehensive privacy policy covers not just
information provided on the company's website, but also the user's
personal files uploaded to the service. All files are secured the
instant they leave the user's computer and protected with
military-grade encryption. For additional security, the encryption
"keys" associated with a user's content are stored in a completely
separate data center, and all servers are professionally maintained
and monitored 24/7 for downtime and security. With Syncplicity, users
and their files are always safe and secure.
Unlimited Storage, Peace of Mind
Everyone knows they should do it. They say they're going to do it.
But how many people actually backup their computers regularly -- or at
all? With Syncplicity, thinking about backups is a thing of the past.
Unlike other services or home backup hard drives that backup files
according to a schedule, Syncplicity continually backs up every file.
Accidentally delete a picture or overwrite an important document?
Suffer from a hard disk crash? No worries: Users simply log into the
Syncplicity website to get back anything -- or everything -- they
lost, including previous versions.
And because Syncplicity is the only "all-you-can-eat" service of
its kind, users need never worry about how much space they've used
before it's all used up. With Syncplicity, users never run out of
storage space. Period.
Syncplicity: Always in sync, always accessible, and always safe.
