Finally A Solution For Syncing Files

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I have to say one the biggest challenges of having a business with partners in two different locations is the synchronization of files.  We tried everything, but nothing did exactly what we needed until now.  We have found Syncplicity – I think it’s funny the name is so similar to simplicity which is what we (as organizers) discuss every day.

Syncplicity is the only all-in-one service that makes sure your files are everywhere you need them.  And on top of that is sync’s up with more than one computer.  No duplication of files, no confusion over which one is the most current – its awesome!   Syncplicity makes everyday sync, backup, and sharing as simple as it should be.   No uploading, no deleting and then uploading again when you change the file.  Who has time for that?

Here is how it works.  Install it on one computer and all your important documents, photos, and music are backed up online and complete with remote access. Install it on additional computers and Syncplicity will synchronize your files — your important files will be wherever you are.

If you have the need to share files, check it out at Syncplicity.
