Both Dropbox and Syncplicity, as you might imagine, are rather good at storing files in the cloud and making sure those files synchronize themselves between devices as though they had a mind of their own. They both have the rather useful knack of letting you share files with anyone and collaborate in real-time, even if you're not sure exactly how any of it works. They're available on all sorts of devices – from your old, reliable laptop to that phone you always seem to forget is in your pocket. Oh and they also manage to keep all your files safely under lock and key with encryption, just in case the Vogons decide to start reading your spreadsheets.
Now, Dropbox, which arrived on the scene in 2007 from the good ol' United States of America, is more of a friend to individuals and small businesses, offering a simple interface that practically begs you to click on it. It’s the one you’d probably call upon when you’re trying to do something easy, like sharing a holiday photo album or organizing your collection of cat videos. It also has this thing called Dropbox Paper, which, if you squint, might look a bit like a document collaboration tool and it connects to almost every app you can think of, as long as you haven’t been living under a rock for the past decade.
Syncplicity, on the other hand, is the enterprise-grade sibling that arrived in 2008, also from the United States. It’s not interested in your casual file-sharing habits but rather focuses on large organizations with complicated workflows and secure file sharing between departments. This isn’t a tool for the faint-hearted; it’s for those who need to juggle files in a way that even the most diligent space captain would find impressive. Syncplicity also integrates seamlessly with things like SharePoint, which is practically the equivalent of a hyperspace jump in the world of enterprise software.
