The Beta period is over!

The Beta period is over!

by Ondrej Hrebicek

It was a long night back on April 15th, the day we first unveiled Syncplicity to the world as a Beta service. We’ve been working on the product for about a year at that point and releasing its Beta version was a culmination of many sleepless nights, heated feature discussions, and personal bonds we forged in making our vision a reality. We weren’t sure how things were going to turn out - no one ever does - but that only added to our excitement and drive to make Syncplicity succeed.

Fast forward about six and a half months to today, November 3rd. There are twice as many of us now and we’re still hiring (apply on our Jobs page and look out for new openings soon!). We’re fortunate to be backed by a fantastic venture firm here in San Francisco and can’t wait to use the funds to deliver an even better service to you, our users. And we’re delighted to announce that we’re leaving the Beta label behind and launching a release version Syncplicity! We’ve dedicated the last few months to making sure the service was ready for prime time - expanded our infrastructure, sped up the service, and fixed the last few bugs still lurking around. We hope you like it!

Starting today, you can also subscribe to one of Syncplicity’s paid plans. If you’ve been keeping track of our plans around this, you’ll notice a few changes we’re making - changes we think you’re going to like. Our basic paid plan is now 25% larger (starts at 50GB) and if you tell your friends about Syncplicity, we’ll add an extra 2GB to your paid account for the first three that subscribe.

Our free plan isn’t going anywhere and is getting a bit of a makeover as well. All free users start off with 2GB, but we’ve made it easy to get that number up to 5GB, and even 7GB. How? Invite three friends and we’ll add 1GB to your account for each one who signs up.

Help us spread the word about Syncplicity and we’ll make sure you and your friends are getting one of the best deals out there. That’s right - unlike before, your friends will get 4GB free accounts and extra 5GB in their paid accounts if they decide to give Syncplicity a try based on your recommendation! This is a limited time offer though, so don’t delay!

Our special thanks go to all of our existing Beta users who have given us their invaluable feedback in the form of suggestions, bug reports, and even the occasional crash report. We appreciate it! As a small token of our gratitude, we’ll start your free accounts at 5GB and paid accounts at 60GB if you subscribe by the end of the year. Note that we’ll also keep your accounts unlimited until November 17th in order to give you plenty of time to make a decision as to which plan to choose.

As always, we’re looking forward to your feedback and working with you to make Syncplicity even better!

The Syncplicity Team

    “As a small token of our gratitude, we’ll start your free accounts at 5GB”.
    How do I take advantage of this offer? If I click on my Account page, it says I’m allowed 2GB. If I click on the subscribe link, the free offer says 2GB and I can’t click on it anyway. What am I missing?

    I don’t use anywhere near this amount but it would be nice to know I have it if I need it, since I have used Syncplicity for quite a while. I even recommended it to a friend but not through the Invite option (doh!)

    Thanks,
    MCV

    MCV,

    > How do I take advantage of this offer?
    The bonus should show up automatically within 24 hours.

    > I even recommended it to a friend but not through the Invite option (doh!)
    Email us at support@syncplicity.com with the email addresses of the friends you referred and we’ll make it right.

    Congrats guys - tis a great product - it’s made my life so much easier. I work out of two offices, and Syncplicity has removed the need to use a Flash drive to lug my files around (keeping track of the latest version of files was a nightmare). Keep up the great work, and can’t wait to see what else you’ve got planned!

  4. Allan Says:

    Congrats!! You have an excellent service that I am more than happy to support.

  5. Gilbert Says:

    Congrats guys. After using the 3 main file syncing apps (LiveMesh, Dropbox and Syncplicity) for a while now I’ve decided that Syncplicity is the best and exactly what I needed. Keep up the great work!

  6. Wiggsfly Says:

    What about the Mac client????????

  7. Allan Says:

    You might drop the “Beta” tag on the homepage. I also hope you post on the appropriate sites of your release (ie. Techcrunch, Lifehacker, GigaOM)

  8. Leonard Chung [SyncP] Says:

    @Allan — yep, we’re working on getting the beta labelling and text cleaned out soon. It’s amazing how deeply that text burrows into every aspect of a product and website.

    Leonard

  9. Leonard Chung [SyncP] Says:

    @Wiggsfly — the Mac client is in private beta now. We’ve released the first set of invites to folks who have signed up for the Mac beta. If you didn’t get an invite in the first round, hang tight. If you’re not on the list, sign up through visiting the Install page in my.syncplicity.com on your Mac.

  11. Ben Haines Says:

    Congratulations to the Syncplicity team. Great work!

    Glad I read the comments… have now signed up for the private beta for Mac users. Can’t wait! :)

  12. Selfish Gene Says:

    Where can I see a list of bugs that were fixed? I tried this product last month but ran into a lot of locking issues when our QuickBooks files were opened on two computers at the same time.

  13. John Says:

    I’m *really* interested in a Mac client.

    And I have money to spend! ;-)

    Congratulations!

    Can’t wait for the mac client (signed up). Hope it’s as good as Windows version.

  15. Kami Says:

    Good work, now we are only waiting for an updated version of a client with more features and optimized for performance :)

    Congrats and best luck! It’s a tough time in terms of economy, but I hope well made products such as Syncplicity will prevail.
    Have you considered other price options somewhere between free and $9.99? $9.99 one is way beyond my needs while I like to sync more than 2 computers. I also like to see delta sync implemented.

  21. Tibby Says:

    Congrats! I’d feel better if you removed the word “beta” from your header now that you have successfully finished your beta. Way to go! Tibby

  22. Joe Says:

    Just waiting for mac…. Me and some colleagues thought about using the service, but realized that I couldn’t with my mac…. support me, baby!

    Great Work guys! I sincerly should admit that syncplicity is great. Keep the good work going. Expecting integration with more application like Picasa.

  25. Leonard Chung Says:

    @Tibby — Done! :-)

  26. Ben Haines Says:

    Minor thing… but can whoever is posting these blogs assign them to a category… rather than have them in uncategorized. Looks sloppy :)

    Still looking forward to that Mac client!

  27. Atle Says:

    How is the mac version coming along? Can’t wait to try it out!

  28. Tom Says:

    Hey, I just wanted to say how much I love this app! It’s so handy to not only have my computers synced, but also to have my files available to me at any computer. It’s gotten me out of a jam many times, so thank you, Syncplicity!!
