Overview
Sync-in is an open-source platform for storing, sharing, syncing and co-editing files on infrastructure you control. Files sit in spaces with groups, guests, managers and nested shares, and the same permissions apply across the web interface, WebDAV, desktop sync clients, editors and APIs. Real-time document editing, full-text search, comments and activity tracking are included.
- Best for
- Organisations that need file sharing and co-editing to stay on infrastructure they control.
- Pricing
- No prices are shown; the captured page presents an open-source platform you host yourself, alongside enterprise support and hosting partners with no figures given.

Trade-offs
- You choose and run the hosting yourself, or go via a partner
- Enterprise support is a separate engagement with no published pricing
