Enterprise content management system provider SpringCM has added a new file sync feature to its platform. SpringCM Business Sync is dubbed as a much more viable alternative to consumer-focused alternatives because it doesn’t focus on just working. It also adds a very comprehensive layer of control on top of the core file synchronization functionality that’s likely important for enterprise.

One of the main highlights of Business Sync is how it enhances file sharing options for file and folders beyond. The software adds a number of sharing options like  limiting sharing  to specific documents or a category of content like marketing material, this assures recipients only receive access to the files they require. Admins can disable syncing of specific files, configure who can do what, and there’s even a built-in feature that makes it possible to automatically delete every copy of a file.

Business Sync also comes with a few other perks. There’s a conflict resolution feature that lets users know if another person is working on a file. Users can see if someone is editing or deleting content and the file shouldn’t be modified. There’s a profile system that throws in more automation into the mix. An organization can flag a division or team to automatically receive content updates, which eliminates the  need for each individual member in the group to subscribe.

“Personal file sharing services typically take an all-or-nothing approach to syncing, ignoring the different ways businesses think about their documents,” said Christopher Junker, CEO, SpringCM.  “SpringCM Business Sync allows corporations to more freely share information because they control who has access and what they are able to do with the documents.  Imagine how liberating it will be for businesses when they don’t have to worry about a file being accidently edited, moved, overwritten or deleted.”

Enterprise focused features and security are huge concerns in the enterprise. A recent Dropbox incident revalidated that.  Apparently users of the popular cloud storage service have been receiving unusually high amounts of spam lately. A breach at Dropbox is a very likely explanation for the problem. Issues like these will drive more companies to abandon consumer-focused services in favor of file synchronization solutions designed for the enterprise.
