Syncplicity is being phased out as the university's data backup solution. All faculty and staff should begin transitioning to Microsoft OneDrive for data backup. If you have additional questions, please contact the Technology Service Desk.
There are two ways to upload files to your Syncplicity account using the Syncplicity app. To upload other files, you will need to send them to the Syncplicity app from their native app (i.e., Pages, Numbers, Adobe Reader, etc.).
I. Photos and Videos
1.) Tap the + icon on main Navigation Bar
The menu options include:
- Select whether you want to capture new photo or video to upload, or if you want to choose existing photos or videos from your mobile device.
The menu options include:
- Photos. Allows you to select an existing photo or video on your device and upload it to a Syncplicity folder.
- Browse... Allows you to view recently opened documents and the apps on your device that are considered storage providers.
- One or more app names may appear in the menu. These app names are controlled by the Browse.. menu option.
- Cancel - This allows you to exit the Upload.
2.) Specify the file details and tap 'Upload'
- Upload Destination folder: This is where you can specify where in your account Syncplicity should store the file.
II. Other Files
Open the file you wish to upload in its native app. In this example, we will upload a word processing document from Apple's Pages.
1.) Tap the Share icon and select 'Open in Another App'
2.) Select the format of your file (in this example, we may choose from Pages, PDF, Word, or ePub)
3.) Once the document is converted, tap 'Choose App' and tap 'Open in Syncplicity'
4.) The document will open in Syncplicity so you can set the Destination Folder and file name, before completing the process by tapping 'Upload'
