I am excited today to announce the availability of our latest Syncplicity Business Edition. This release focuses on adding new capabilities for Google Apps users in conjunction with Google’s announcement of the Upload any file feature to Google Docs. By using both Syncplicity and Google Docs, customers may now seamlessly sync and store any file from their computers to and from Google Docs. Docs can then be used to access and edit these files anywhere.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Google and their new Google Docs API over the past several months to bring business customers new and critical capabilities around sync, file management, collaboration, sharing, automated back-up and instant restore. We also had the benefit of more than 5,000 joint Google Apps and Syncplicity customers using our products together to sync nearly one million files to guide our requirements for a more integrated, feature-rich solution.
Feedback from many customers shows that they want to move more aggressively to cloud computing and online storage using applications like Google Docs, but want to do so without entirely abandoning the desktop or the ability to use existing desktop apps like Microsoft Office. Our customers, however, don’t want to worry about uploading files and downloading files manually, which computer or place they last left a file, not being able to use their preferred app, and if they were working with the latest version of a document.
In addition, customers want to move between those environments seamlessly. They want a solution that supports centralized file management of any file inside or outside of the firewall, any file type or size, automated back-up and instant restore, as well as policy-controllable sync, sharing and collaboration. And they want these things to automatically work in the background through an integrated solution.
With today’s release, along with Google’s announcement, we now offer that solution to customers.

With the new capabilities, customers can now sync, upload, and store any file with Google Docs. Microsoft Office documents such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can also be richly edited.
Google Apps customers who also are using Syncplicity can:
- Seamlessly use existing files, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat PDFs already on their desktops, with Google Docs without the need to manually upload them.
- Synchronize, share, back-up, and centrally manage all file types with one seamless and easy to use solution.
- Continuously synchronize files in real time between Google Docs and desktops. Customers are assured that users are always working on the up-to-date latest versions of each file.
- Open and edit their documents within existing desktop applications such as Microsoft and then open and edit those same documents seamlessly within Google Docs.
- Provide different users on the same team with the choice of collaborating using Microsoft Word, Google Docs or another preferred application.
- Have automatic real-time back-up with previous version support and instant restore of any file.
- Set policy and administrative controls on an individual or company-wide basis.
- Synchronize and back-up any file type of any file size.
- Scale to an unlimited number of users and storage.
Pricing for Syncplicity Business Edition starts at $45 per month for the first 3 users and scales with the addition of more users and storage.
We’ve been very happy to work with the Google team. They are focused on delivering new ways to give customers the best and easiest access to all their information online. Working together to leverage cloud computing along with Google Docs, we’ve taken a lot of pain out of file management and synchronization.
Google’s new Documents List API has given us the ability to tightly integrate our solutions, allowing customers to use Google Docs and work at a whole new level.
Best Regards,
Leonard Chung, CEO
