A Personal Need That Became a Long-Term Project
Sync-in wasn’t born from a business plan or a pitch deck. It started as a personal need: I wanted a simple, secure, and private way to access and share my files remotely. Like many, I was increasingly uncomfortable relying on centralized, opaque cloud providers where the user is the product and privacy is an afterthought.
I needed a solution that respected my data, worked for both personal and team use, and didn’t require sacrificing user experience or flexibility. So I began building Sync-in.
From Side Project to Public Launch
Over the last years, Sync-in evolved steadily. I redesigned it multiple times, added features, threw some away, and rebuilt others. It became more than a tool for my own needs—it grew into something I believed could help others too.
Today, I’m proud to share the public launch of Sync-in.
What is Sync-in?
Sync-in is a secure, open-source platform for file sharing, synchronization, and collaboration — built to give individuals and organizations full control over their data.
Host your own workspace to organize, access, and collaborate on files, notes, and documents — with your team, your friends, or just for yourself.
Key features include:
🔐 Data sovereignty – Your files stay on your infrastructure. No third-party cloud, no compromise.
🛡️ Privacy-first design – No telemetry, no tracking. Your data remains yours — and stays private.
⚙️ Granular permissions – Fine-tune access per user, group, space, or file.
🔄 Desktop sync – Keep files synced across devices with native apps (Windows, macOS, Linux, CLI).
📄 Collaborative editing – Edit documents together in real time (via OnlyOffice integration).
📂 Spaces – Organize content into secure areas: personal, team, or public.
👥 Secure sharing – Share with individuals or groups, with precise access control.
🔗 Public links – Create time-limited, password-protected links to share content externally.
🔍 Full-text indexing – Search instantly through documents, server-side and private.
📊 Activity tracking – See who did what, and get real-time notifications.
📦 WebDAV support – Mount Sync-in as a remote drive from any device.
🌐 Universal access – Use Sync-in from any browser, mobile, or desktop app.
Built for Privacy, Designed for Users
Sync-in is not just another file hosting tool. It’s grounded in the belief that:
- Privacy isn’t a feature — it’s a commitment
- We should be able to collaborate without surrendering our data
- Self-hosting should be simple and sustainable
You can use it alone, with your team, in a nonprofit, or at the company level. It adapts to your needs, not the other way around.
