It's reminiscent of Tubes ( review), the simple peer-to-peer group file sync product I covered in January. When other users work on the files, their changes are synced back to you. The files and e-mails that you put in a view are then automatically uploaded to Egnyte via a small client application, and they remain synchronized with their original files on your computer (PC, Mac, or Linux box). You can collect several items into a 'view' (for collecting resources on a particular project, for instance), and invite people into that view.

It's entering a very crowded market-the product is can be put in or near the same buckets as business wikis, groupware apps such as Groove, Sharepoint, and Collanos ( review), and pure Web 2.0 apps such as Basecamp-but at its most basic it's a file synchronization engine.īy the way, it's pronounced like 'ignite,' not like 'egg night.'Įgnyte views appear as little boxes with lots of options.Įgnyte lets you designate directories, individual files, and e-mail folders for sharing. Egnyte is a new business groupware application that's rolling out at the Web 2.0 Expo.
