Product Development Supervisor Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A secure way of file sharing" May 28, 2019 4.0 If you want to share or store your files in a secure way then syncplicity is one of the best options. Enterprise level common usage really makes it a good choice as most of the partners to your company would be probably using it. I've never had issues during file sharing with syncplicity so far. Therefore it is a robust choice as well. Pros One of the things about online sharing platforms is mostly having a simple and user friendly interface. It is easy to use for most users. It is really secure (business level). This is also the case for syncplicity. Another good thing is option to use in different platforms; via browser or IOS or Android mobile apps.I mostly use syncplicity for business needs. Most of the companies uses it so it's really make sense to use it. This enables our partners and team members keep their connection alive. Cons It is not hard to find many issues for syncplicity as I'm using it enterprise level. Not sure of storage issues. In the very beginning I had some issues when create folder and file orders; but got used to it by asking some help. Syncing multiple files can be painful sometimes. I assume there are minor issues when compared to overall performance. Review Source KC Kyle C. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent solution for creating, sharing and backing up files in the remote working era" July 9, 2022 4.0 Pros The way that folders and files can be browsed to by each user within their finder window. Even though you are browsing files stored entirely in the cloud (not locally), it FEELS like you are accessing documents right from your machine. And as they are added, changed, deleted, etc., your folder structure adjusts behind the scenes without you having to do anything manual to cause the syncing. Cons Initial rollout of the software takes a little while. Given the volume of folders and files we have in our system, we have to have a machine stay "awake" and online for 8 - 12 hours to fully index everything and build the folder structure in a new user's finder window. Also I wish I could add seat licenses as I need them one by one, not in chunks of 5.

Product Development Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is just ok" May 8, 2019 3.0 I'm mostly using this product to share data with our external partners. I can share any document I want with our external partners and it is really easy to upload. Pros I can name 2 things I like the most about this software; 1) if you want to share multiple files you can put them in a folder and share the folder itself at one go 2) the speed of data upload is very satisfactory Cons You can't share a single file as it is, but it must be placed under a folder to be shared Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web Developer & Graphic Designer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Syncplicity Offers a Solution Few Others Do" April 5, 2019 5.0 I already use SugarSync, which is one of the other pieces of sync software that allow you to pick the folders you'd like to sync. For a client, I needed to use a different one and there are surprisingly few of them out there. Syncplicity does the job and it does it well. Pros The main selling point to Syncplicity, as opposed to other sync software that keeps your files updated on your different device, is that it allows you to choose which folders you are syncing. This differs from the "Dropbox model," where you have to put all your folders under a specific parent folder. There are times where you can't rearrange your hard drive to put everything in one place and things need to stay where they are. It is here where Syncplicity shines. Cons The functionality is very good, but the features are a little sparse, especially in terms of the web interface. It would be nice if you could "sync" to an external hard drive , too (which you can't). It would also be nice to be able to eliminate a folder that resides in a parent folder that otherwise syncs.

Pros It allows you to login with your company account name and password. You can drag and drop multiple files. It offers you to add any people to whom you share data and assign them as editor or reader only. Upload speed is quite fast. Deleted items can also be seen that you can restore or permanently delete. Cons No way to share a single file only. You must create a folder and then share out of your organisation. There is no search option to find uploaded files. No specific application on any operating system, you only use over web.

Improves productivity a lot. Pros Very good product for file sharing that helps a lot for working with clients which keeps the history of sharing so can get the records any time that I want. Cons Need to empty the the shared folders list quickly as there's no that much space that you can use every time.

It takes a while to figure out the design, but then it is fine to use. Pros I like that the software makes it easy to store files without much effort. The software does its job of automatically backing up all files I save at the point of use. Cons When first using the software, it can be difficult locate the files that you are actually saving. My company had syncplicity already installed on my computer, so when I went in for the first time to find my files it wasn’t completely intuitive. When I had a folder shared with me from another colleague, it was difficult for me to find and access it.

Multiple files can also be dragged through this splendid product. Pros With this certain product I am able to collaborate among my team members with full ease and also its ability to arrange my documents is worth knowing. I would say it is working towards right direction. Cons Since I have been using this solution there is nothing bad I have come across with. It is providing standard support and services.

Pros File transfer is very easy and safe with this product. I use it to share important files with suppliers that I work with. Creating folders for sharing is helpful for tracking history. Cons Sometimes I can not upload files for any reason that I could not find yet but not happening so much. Review Source CF Carlos F. Partner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Syncplicity: cloud storage and synchronization with bare-bones free tier" September 30, 2020 5.0 Syncplicity allows me to store my files and documents in the cloud and synchronize them to my devices easily. While light on features, their free plan delivers what it promises (although with rather slow speeds). It's a no-frills, free alternative that works fine. Pros In my opinion, Syncplicity has the following advantages: 1. It's cross-platform. Syncplicity runs on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android devices. 2. It's free. Syncplicity has a free plan for personal use with sufficient storage space to meet users' basic needs. 3. It's developed by experienced professionals. The company that develops Syncplicity was founded by professionals who worked at Microsoft. Cons I think these are the disadvantages of Syncplicity: 1. It's very basic. Although it works fine, the free version for personal use is rather lackluster. 2. It's rather sluggish at times. This may depend on several different aspects, like the computer that runs Syncplicity and the quality of the internet connection. 3. It's quite expensive for corporate users. Syncplicity has a pricing model that can accumulate quickly.

Pros La rapidez de cargar la información de la nube, la seguridad con la que se resguarda y las varias aprobaciones para poder ingresar a mis datos hacen que me sienta mas confiable Cons Se me ha complicado enviar información directa a otros usuarios por medio de la herramienta y no he encontrado tutoriales para hacer esa función.

Pros This product has the basic features of a generic cloud storage product. It has a simple, user-friendly interface and one can very quickly grab the basics about how to use it. Cons It has a folder type of storage method which is sort of useful; it prevents you to upload single files.

Pros It's very simple interface. You're able to share huge size data as read or edit only. Cons It' s limited space. If space is close to full, you need to delete some documents.

Executive Support / Senior Internal System Support Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exactly as needed" September 17, 2015 4.0 We have had issues in the past with syncing software across all mobile devices. We did a bunch of research for other syncing companies and we went with syncplicity. Since then, we have used this for many other applications, backup of critical documents, syncing across many laptops. This works extremely well in all areas. We have 130 seats and have never had an issue with any of them. We did however have an issue with a cryptolocker virus which syncplicity wasn't able to handle that well. It infected the backup which infected other users of a shared folder. restoring of files and excruciating but since had back a dedicated backup software we were able to use that instead Pros Ease of use does what it intends to do speed Cons Price could be a little cheaper and restoring from previous dates could be a lot easier.

I do use without any safety concern. I believe that my documents are secured confidentially. Cons If it would be such a software which is connected with my PC's local storage area, ı would have share more files. Review Source Umurefe D.

You can upload big documents (like big data sets) easily. Cons Multiple file download options is not without extra payment. Review Source DW Doug W. Manager Solutions Assurance Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Weak and little or no development" June 25, 2018 2.0 Pros It's free to use for the basic version. That's really about it. Cons No ability to create a shared link. No ability to send someone a link. Emails often don't make it to the person you are trying to share with. Little or no Support at all. I have submitted feedback but never hear back or seen any improvements in the product over many years of use. The upgrades appear to only address bugs or OS upgrades. When there is an upgrade, it is totally disruptive - you have to close all other applications and reboot your system. Review Source Emre Ö.

You can't really use the desktop tool, and the web tool is limited. I'm not sure who this is for, but I do not like it at all. Cons Everything. It's frustrating at every turn. The only reason I use it is because I have a client that uses it, and this is the only way they send me files.
