Today marks one year since we first launched our Sync Power Tool. If you are a fan of the ShareFile Facebook page you may have seen the picture of our Sync celebration last year (see below).

As I was looking at all of the employees when this picture was taken (just barely over 40) in all of their cool Sync T-shirts, I couldn’t help but think of how much we’ve grown since in a year.  Just one year later we have over 110 employees and growing rapidly!

Since the launch of Sync, we have seen a high adoption rate among users. In case you aren’t familiar with the tool, it allows you to synchronize folders within your ShareFile account with folders on your computer for easy, automatic updates and backup of your data. Users of the Sync tool can choose a ShareFile folder or a local folder to be the source, allowing you to easily mirror a folder in either location. Users also have the ability to set up a two-way sync job so that updates to either folder will be automatically recognized and adopted by the other. This allows users to work from the most up-to-date document at all times.

My favorite part about the Sync tool is it truly streamlines the process of file sharing. It’s easy for you and your team members to work in the same “magic folder” in real time, allowing you to focus on your goals and meeting deadlines. If you or your colleagues are working remotely (or workshifting like we call it here) you can remain current with your clients and colleagues regardless of your physical or virtual location.
