Synchronisation

Sync to the cloud and have your files with you everywhere

Synchronising basically means making something happen at the same time and making something coincide in time. When we talk about synchronisation in relation to our computers, mobile phones, data and files, it is a matter of having the same files on multiple devices.

Once you have an account with Onlime, you will receive a Sync folder. All the changes (edits, additions, deletions) that you make to the files in your Sync folder will be synchronised. This means that as soon as a file is in your Synk folder, it is downloaded and ready to use on other devices (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) connected to your account.

You can sync files between PC, Mac, iOS & Android tablets.

Share files with synchronization

With everything synced using the cloud, you can easily share files with others. Automatic synchronisation keeps all shared files up to date. This is useful for businesses as well as when grandparents need to share the photos from the family party.

Thanks to synchronisation, you get the feeling of sharing files like with a shared drive - just across the vast internet.

Sync phone & tablets

With Onlime on phones and tablets, your mobile devices are also synced with the cloud.

Just open the Onlime app for Android and iOS - and your photos and videos will be uploaded to the cloud alongside any backups you may have of computers. It's a one-way sync, so once your photos are synced to the cloud, for example, you can delete them on your phone - saving you space.

The files you may have synced between computers using Onlime can also be accessed via your iPhone, iPad and Android device. You can also put files in the sync folder.

Is synchronisation safe?

Files are synchronised between your devices and the cloud using AES 256-bit encryption.

It is the industry standard and the form of encryption that is also used, for example, in the military.

In practical terms, this means it's impossible for anyone to intercept what you're syncing between your computers, as all files being sent are encrypted in transit. All content synced in the cloud is also stored encrypted.

Unlimited space

No limit to how much you can archive

If you choose our payment solution, you can have unlimited space in the cloud. This means you can have backed up and archived files from all your computers, mobiles and tablets.

It gives you the freedom of not having to worry about how much space you have left on your computer.

Security

We protect and respect your privacy

Our mission is to provide a simple and transparent service, always based on your rights. That's why we value and protect the privacy of all our users.

✅ We never claim ownership of your files.
✅ We never make money from your files and personal data.
✅ We collect as little data as possible and never use it for business.
✅ We store your data on secure servers in Norway and comply with GDPR.

One of the best places in the world to store personal data is Norway. For many years, it has had one of the world's strictest laws on the use of personal data. For example, no authority can access your data unless it has a warrant from a Norwegian court.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of cloud services are located in the US - where the law and practice is very lax, despite GDPR. Therefore, you should consider where you store your data.

An "old-fashioned" USB stick is undoubtedly one of the most widely used methods of transferring and flexibly storing files. It's both cheap and easy to carry in your pocket, and with new technologies like USB 3.0, transfer speeds have also improved significantly. That's why a USB connector isn't a bad idea to have in your toolbox.

But a USB stick is a physical medium and can be subject to accidents. It can get a trip in the washing machine or be forgotten on the go. So availability is limited by the fact that it is a physical medium.

In addition, it is possible to file on multiple devices at once across computers regardless of location. In principle, you can have two synchronized computers on either side of the Earth - and as long as they are connected to the Internet, the files will be available.

If you need to sync multiple files at a time across multiple devices, cloud sync is a clear advantage. In addition, you have the flexibility and security, which is also optimal. If you're looking for speeds, and you need to transfer large amounts of data quickly, USB 3.0 is still faster than most people's internet connection - but speed is on borrowed time as it's only a matter of when internet speeds will be so fast that physical media will be outperformed.

In this respect, storing files in the cloud is superior, as it only requires an internet connection - something that is available virtually everywhere.

Usually, there can be several challenges when you want to transfer files between Windows and Mac. If you have an external hard drive, many people have experienced compatibility problems with write and read permissions, which makes it difficult to transfer files between the two systems. Alternative ways to transfer are of course email - however, here you are usually limited on file sizes, which is frustrating if you want to transfer a handful of photos as an example.

Onlime synchronisation is supported on both Windows and Mac.

Files that you have selected to be synced across devices will show up on your Windows PCs as well as on your Macs. If you have 2 Windows PCs and 2 Macs, the files will be available on all of them. No compatibility issues there.

This is one of the great strengths of cloud synchronisation: it reduces the boundaries between different operating systems. This allows you to choose the operating system that best suits your needs without worrying about whether your files will be available on other computers with different operating systems.

In a workplace, this can be a huge benefit for employees.

When syncing files across devices over the internet, your broadband connection is a clear indication of how fast things will happen. The faster your internet connection, the faster more and larger files can be transferred.

When talking about speed in this context, it is important to note both the download AND upload speed. It is the upload speed that determines how fast you can send a file from one computer to another. In today's Denmark, download speed is usually the fastest, but if you have fibre broadband, you're much better off when it comes to upload speed. A fibre connection gives you an equally fast connection for both download and upload.

We always recommend our customers to have fibre broadband if possible. It is by far the fastest today.
