Synctech is a privacy-preserving way to back-up and synchronize files across
|
||||
your and your colleagues' (or friends, or family) devices. With Synctech,
|
||||
your files are always-synchronized, regularly backed-up, ensuring important
|
||||
files are always there when you need them. Even though Synctech stores your
|
||||
files, nobody can read them without a password, including us.

Tired of paying per e-mail address? e11sync.com offers unlimited domains
|
||||
and unlimited addresses. Pay only for the used storage and the emails sent
|
||||
and received (don't worry, limits are more than enough for fair use).
|
||||
All files are backed up every few minutes and old copies are stored for
|
||||
decades. Overwritten an important file by accident? No problem, restore it
|
||||
with a couple of clicks. Synctech protects against ransomware: even if all
|
||||
devices get compromised, backups will always work.

We are a small bootstrapped company. We did not take funding and will not.

<p>You can <a

a folder with a password</a>.

When the folder is password-protected, the files can be read only on the

devices where password was entered. Nobody can access your data without a

password, including us.
|

|

<p>This is quite unique in the on-line synchronization and

backup space. While we very carefully protect your data, you are

additionally assured that it is impossible to read your files for anyone
|

else but you (or others, with whom you have shared the password).

<div>
|

|

<p>When setting up Synctech, you are entering your password on your trusted
|
||||
devices. All your files are encrypted with that password. That way,
|
||||
nobody can read your files without a password, even us (since you are not
|
||||
entering the password on Synctech; it is deliberately impossible).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At Synctech, we are protecting our customer data very carefully (stay
|
||||
tuned for a blog post with technical details). Even with that, it is good
|
||||
to have extra assurances that the files are accessible only to the
|
||||
devices you trust.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>End-to-end protected files is very uncommon in today's backup or
|
||||
synchronization services. It is now possible for us to offer a service
|
||||
that does it securely.

|

<div>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A backup is a copy of your data stored somewhere else. If the original
|
||||
data is lost, it can be recovered from a backup. Backups are essential
|
||||
for data that is worth saving.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Here are a few common ways how data is lost, when having a backup
|
||||
becomes essential:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Hard-drive failure.</li>
|
||||
<li>Loss of the computer (e.g. theft or leaving at the wrong place).</li>
|
||||
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware">Ransomware</a>,
|
||||
when data is locked out by an attacker unless a ransom is paid.</li>

<li>"Whoops, I permanently deleted the wrong folder".</li>

|

<div>
|

|

It is an automatic process that ensures files in two or more computers
|

(phones) are the same.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Synctech uses a free and open-source program <a
|
||||
href="https://syncthing.net">syncthing</a> to synchronize files both
|
||||
across your devices, and across your devices and Synctech itself. Once
|
||||
files are synchronized between your devices and Synctech, it will
|
||||
periodically create backups.

Synctech is currently in Private Alpha. Which means it is open only for
|
||||
the early adopters, who are not charged for the service.
|
||||
|
||||
As soon as we are ready for a wider audience, we will start sending
|
||||
signup invitations on first-come-first-serve basis; enter your email
|
||||
<a href="/">here</a> to add yourself to the queue.

Once signed up for Synctech, you are presented with a guide which will
|
||||
guide through:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Install Syncthing on your computer/phone/tablet.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select folders which you want to share.</li>
|
||||
<li>Optional: configure sharing: between yours or devices of your
|
||||
colleagues/friends.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
Once Synctech and your local Syncthing are ready, your files are safe,
|
||||
backed-up, and always available. Folders can be recovered from backups
|
||||
via the User's Control Panel in Synctech.

<div>
|

|

Source code will be released as soon as Synctech leaves private alpha
|
||||
(i.e. we start charging for the service). As a heads up, Synctech
|
||||
consists of two parts, licensed differently:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>User's control panel:
|
||||
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html">MIT license</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Everything else:
|
||||
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0-only.html">AGPL-v3</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
We are licensing user's control panel under a more permissive MIT
|
||||
license, so it can be uplifted to the MIT-licensed
|
||||
<a href="https://syncthing.net">syncthing</a> more easily.

Synctech is run by Motiejus Jakštys, an engineer from Lithuania. I have a
|
||||
software engineering dayjob, and am developing Synctech during my
|
||||
personal time. Synctech is fully self-funded (bootstrapped).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My main ethos are:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Respect the customer. Since the business is bootstrapped, I have
|
||||
all the means to behave ethically.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Attention to detail creates the best product.</li>
|
||||
<li>Accessibility (and bandwidth) matter.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
Stay tuned for a series of blog posts about creating the business, the
|
||||
technical details, and the guiding principles.
