Mac Beta is out!
Today we are excited to announce the publicly available Syncplicity Mac Beta Client! With this release, Syncplicity users can share files between their Windows and Mac computers with ease. Any file changes made on one computer will sync to the other computer.
For those of you coming from backup products, there is no schedule option for Syncplicity. The client watches your files for changes and uploads the new versions immediately, it doesn’t wait a minimum of 4 hours like you may be used to. And for those using other ‘one folder’ sync products, you do not have to move all your documents to a new folder. Syncplicity will sync them wherever they are now.
Just like with the Windows version, any Mac folder can become a Syncplicity folder by right clicking the folder and adding it to Syncplicity. Once it’s a Syncplicity folder, the Syncplicity client will watch the folder for changes and immediately synchronize the changes to your other computers. New and updated files will be securely backed up by Syncplicity, past revisions will be available on the Syncplicity website, and the latest versions will be sync’ed to your other computers.
Our Windows users will immediately recognize the Syncplicity icon sitting pretty in the menu bar. Syncplicity communicates its status through the menu icon and the grayed lines in the pop-down menu. For the geekier users, you can find out what Syncplicity is up to by watching the trace window.
If you have a Mac, give the new beta a whirl. As this is a beta, please send us feedback!
Happy Sync’ing!

I have a big problem. I have macbook unibody and leopard 10.5.6. the sync says “uploading 157 scanning” for 2 days and nothing happen. It made my crazy. How should I solve this problem?
linux, please work on a linux client!!
Are bundles and forks handled correctly?
Syncplicity, thank you for making this available for Macs. Bye bye Live Mesh, hello Syncplicity!
Linux is needed, really! Meanwhile, does anyone know if this can run on Wine under Linux?
Great job on the beta! I installed it a few minutes ago and am already up and running. Do you have plans to add the sharing options to the Mac edition similar to what you have in the Win version?
Syncplicity on Win XP is REALLY outstanding (Mac Mobile me: much to slow; Mac / XP DropBox: improvement in Speed, but like MobileMe everything within one “Folder”-Structure).
So please hurry up, bring out a fully functional Syncplicity for Mac. I Removed the beta: much to slow, reduced funtionality. I really might consider even buying the big option, if a really working Mac Version is available.
& Special compliments to the team: Syncplicity is the benchmark for the time being…
All of these online storage/syncing services competing for our files, it’s amazing! I’m currently a DropBox user (and collaborate with 3 others in my business, each with their own account) and the cross-platform support DropBox provides is really a competitive advantage for me. So please even out your support across Windows, Macs and Linux. Let’s see that Mac version go final!
I would love to have a version for Ubuntu. although I understand it’s very unlikely ($$$) … Wine, maybe?
Workaround for lack of sharing in Mac client. Use any other PC or VMware PC to install the PC client, then sync the folders you want from syncplicity to share with other users. From the PC client you have the ability to share these sync’d folders with other syncplicity users, regardless if they are using the Mac beta client. You are basically using the PC client as a transfer station to other Mac clients. Worked for me and allows me to share individual folders with my friends without having them see all my sync’d folders.
I want to use linux clients..
Linux support is absolutely necessary. There is such a buzz around at the moment about the various distrubutions, especially Ubuntu. Now that manufacturers such as DELL and TOSHIBA are offering machines with Ubunu it is really time to take Linux seriously. Miss out on this, and someone else will get there first!

Does this support PPC G4?
I’ve installed it on my PowerBook G4, but got an error during startup – ‘zlib unavailable’
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
only intel/leopard
will there be ppc/tiger versions in the future?
