The key benefits

  • Real-Time Backup:
  • Sharing made Simple
  • Access anytime, anywhere

· View Multiple Computers one view

If you use multiple computers and keep a track of the changes you have made in which machine has which version of the report that may confuse us .This services help us to synchronise the changes uniformly through all the system.

Syncplicity with multi system:

While installing Syncplicity in the second computer or add new folders to the server, it will offer to sync (download) the files already on the server to the second machine. If you agree, you can tell it where to put the folder. If a folder by the same name already exists in your specified location, Syncplicity asks whether you wish to merge the two. If you don't, you can enter a different location. Sending sharing invitations to multiple colleagues can be time-consuming: For each recipient, you have to click 'Add Someone' and then type in their e-mail address; you can't enter multiple addresses.

Effective versioning::

It preserves different editions of your files as they are synced, added, and removed. You can access an older version of a file by right-clicking the file and examining a list of the versions Syncplicity has tracked since the original upload. The list includes buttons for downloading a version to your local computer or reverting to that version.
