KeepSync Synchronization Solution From Proxure

Proxure, Inc. announced the availability of its new KeepSync synchronization solution, which allows consumers and business users to synchronize everything from digital photos to office documents. Unlike other synchronization solutions, which are often limited to handling just emails, contacts and calendars using a USB connection, KeepSync offers a much broader solution. It not only allows people to synchronize a wider array of content, including videos and photos, but it also allows them to synchronize content either in a home-network environment or over the Internet. For example, with KeepSync, you can automatically and simultaneously sync photos from your mobile phone to your laptop, your desktop, and to friends and family — without ever having to plug in a device.

Simply install KeepSync on all the devices you wish to synchronize then choose the folders you want to monitor. KeepSync will continually and automatically look for new or changed files. Those files will then automatically be copied to the appropriate recipient devices and tagged with the sender’s information to make finding the file that much easier. KeepSync automatically keeps track of which files have been copied and which ones are yet to be copied — even when recipient devices are off-line — and then copies them when the devices are back online.

KeepSync works with Windows-based PCs, storage devices such as NAS servers, external hard drives, USB keychain drives, and several Smart Phones (Android and Windows Mobile based phones). It also creates a patent-pending ecosystem where users can easily share digital pictures, music, video, and office documents without having to rely on older methods like email and sharing sites.

Just add other KeepSync users to a ‘share’ list. When you add or modify shared files or folders, they will be notified through an icon in the Windows tray. KeepSync delivers the files directly to the PC, storage device, or Smart Phone; no online storage site is required. KeepSync allows users collaborating on documents to know which version is the latest. Videos and photos can optionally be trans-coded by the recipient or sending device for optimal playback.

Users don’t pay for the KeepSync application. Nor do they need to subscribe to a service where they’re hit for a fee every month. Instead, KeepSync uses a ‘pay-as-you-go’ model where the user buys credits to sync over the Internet.

Availability
KeepSync is currently available for download and a fully functional 15-day trial is provided (though Internet sharing is limited to 25 credits).

For custom sync solutions, KeepSync is also available as an SDK. The SDK was used for the HP TouchSmart implementation of KeepSync and was recently licensed by AMD for use with their Fusion platform. Other example uses include remote distribution to student PCs of syllabus material by central educational authorities; updating of advertising content on electronic signs and billboards; and embedded devices like wireless photo frames. The cross-platform SDK is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
