Sync-in

A file platform that grinds your documents into opaque object storage takes something away even as it adds collaboration. Sync-in keeps files readable on the filesystem where they sit and adds collaboration features only where they are needed, so a shared workspace does not cost you control of the data underneath it.

The server is a TypeScript application published as a Docker image and as an npm package, with desktop and command-line clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux that can synchronize against several servers at once. WebDAV support means file explorers, network drives, mobile apps, and third-party clients can reach a workspace with no dedicated client at all.

Collaboration is organized around spaces and the permissions attached to them.

• Spaces and shares: guests, personal groups, roles, and fine-grained permissions decide who sees what.
• Public links: protected by access limits, expiration dates, and passwords.
• Document editing: Collabora Online, OnlyOffice, and Euro-Office edit documents in place.
• Activity: comments, notifications, file locking, and recent updates sit in one workflow.
• Search: full-text indexing reaches inside common office and document formats.
• Authentication: local accounts, OIDC, LDAP, MFA, recovery codes, and application passwords.

Storage quotas, trash retention, file protection tools, and folder anchoring without duplication cover the administrative side. Docker and npm setup guides are published alongside a live demo, and the web interface handles drag and drop, a smart clipboard, gallery views, sorting, filtering, and file previews.
