Syncura: New Tool to Connect Your Virtual Team With Peer to Peer Document Sharing Over the Internet

Syncura announces a new collaboration product to help virtual teams and small businesses manage shared documents. Syncura brings a new level of security and privacy to sharing documents over the Internet with its peer to peer technology that does not store documents on a third party server.

"Because files are not stored on a server, the amount of data you can share is only limited to the amount of disk space on your computer," said Tim Weiler, founder of Syncura. "Syncura also solves your backup problem, because each file is stored on each person's computer. There is no single point of failure."

Many small businesses don't have the resources to maintain their own server and VPN (virtual private network) and are not comfortable storing their files on a website. During its beta period, Syncura helped many small companies with distributed offices gain access to their shared files and keep them synchronized. Building private, invitation-only document workspaces is now a viable alternative to VPNs and third party online hosted solutions.

Online hosted document sharing solutions can cost a distributed five-person company thousands of dollars a year to store all their data. Syncura is a fraction of the cost because it allows a small team company to combine their existing assets with the power of the Internet to store and access their data.

Large corporations have IT departments to manage and maintain remote access systems. Now small businesses can have remote access to their work files as well. Individuals can use Syncura to sync files and folders between their computer at work and at home. Documents changed at home are securely sent to their work computer and vice versa.

Thousands signed up for the beta version released in March 2006. Version 1.5 is now commercially available and was released just in time for the holidays.

Syncura (http://www.syncura.com) provides automatic document sharing for business users and mobile professionals through its secure synchronization technology. Its solutions allow for teams to always have the latest version of their shared documents instantly available.
