Syncplicity

What Syncplicity does

Syncplicity is a privately held enterprise file sharing and synchronization platform operated as Syncplicity LLC, founded in 2007 and currently owned by Axway (previously a subsidiary of EMC Corporation). The company provides hybrid cloud file storage and collaboration solutions that integrate with existing enterprise storage infrastructure (on-premises, Isilon, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) rather than forcing data migration to a new silo. Its platform spans Windows, Mac, iOS/iPadOS, Android, and Web clients with enterprise-grade security features including customer-managed encryption keys (HSM integration), remote wipe, eDiscovery/legal hold, Data Loss Prevention integration, and Syncplicity Rights Management for persistent document protection. The product portfolio includes a Professional plan at $24/user/month with 300GB storage and 3-seat minimum, and an Enterprise tier with custom pricing that adds private cloud deployment, certificate-based authentication, and mission-critical support.

Syncplicity serves enterprise customers primarily in regulated and security-sensitive verticals including healthcare (Mass General Brigham), financial services (Brighthouse Financial, First Western), automotive manufacturing (a 109,000-employee European automotive components group), research (JOANNEUM RESEARCH with 450+ researchers), and technology (Dell, Lenovo). The company distributes through direct enterprise field sales led by a Global Sales Manager, supplemented by self-serve online signup, a 30-day free trial, authorized resellers, and software marketplaces. Its API platform (developer.syncplicity.com) supports third-party integrations including Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, Adobe Sign, and Outlook add-ins. Key certifications include SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and EU-U.S. Privacy Shield compliance. The company maintains an operating footprint with headquarters in Denver, CO and a registered legal office in Santa Clara, CA, with a global 24x7 support operation and 99.9% uptime guarantee for enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft SharePoint & OneDrive for Business: Microsoft bundles file sync and share with the Office 365/Microsoft 365 productivity suite that most enterprises already own. As the dominant incumbent, it sets price expectations and is the primary competitor Syncplicity must displace or coexist with.
• OpenText (Documentum / Content Suite): OpenText provides enterprise content management including document collaboration and secure file sharing, with deep roots in regulated industries and on-premises deployments. Competes broadly with Syncplicity for large enterprise content workflows.
• Dropbox Business: Dropbox Business offers enterprise file sync and share with strong consumer-grade UX and broad integrations. Competes with Syncplicity for SMB and mid-market as well as parts of the enterprise segment.
• Google Drive Enterprise (Workspace): Google Workspace bundles cloud-native file sync and share for enterprises, often winning in collaboration-first environments. Competes with Syncplicity particularly for cloud-only or cloud-leaning enterprise deployments.

Direct peers

• Egnyte: Egnyte offers hybrid cloud file sharing with on-premises and cloud storage tiers, very similar to Syncplicity's hybrid architecture. It targets regulated industries (life sciences, financial services, construction) with comparable compliance and rights management positioning.
• Box: Box is the leading pure-play enterprise content collaboration and file sharing platform with comparable subscription pricing, security features, and integrations with Microsoft/Salesforce. It directly competes for the same enterprise buyers Syncplicity targets.
• Citrix ShareFile: ShareFile is Citrix's enterprise file sync and share product with strong vertical specialization (healthcare, financial services, legal) and similar security/compliance emphasis. Direct overlap with Syncplicity on secure external collaboration.
• Kiteworks (formerly Accellion): Kiteworks is a private-content network for secure file sharing, email, and collaboration with strong regulatory-compliance positioning. Closely comparable to Syncplicity's Rights Management and HIPAA/GDPR-aligned enterprise offering.

Emerging players

• ownCloud: ownCloud is an open-source file sync and share platform with hybrid on-premises/cloud deployment options. Directly comparable architecture to Syncplicity and competes for security-conscious enterprises seeking self-hosted control.
• Druva: Druva provides cloud-native data protection and file sharing with strong enterprise compliance positioning. Adjacent overlap with Syncplicity in enterprise backup/sync but with a cloud-only architecture rather than hybrid.
