Product overview

Bebra Sync is a file synchronization and collaboration platform designed for teams that treat their data as an asset. Below is a complete tour of what ships with every workspace.

Synchronization engine

Our sync engine splits files into content-defined chunks and transfers only what changed. Renames, moves and partial edits are detected automatically, so a 10 MB edit to a 4 GB container costs 10 MB of bandwidth — not 4 GB.

  • Block-level delta sync with content-defined chunking
  • LAN peer sync: devices on the same network exchange blocks directly
  • Selective sync and on-demand placeholders to save disk space
  • Automatic conflict resolution with side-by-side comparison

Security model

Encryption happens client-side using XChaCha20-Poly1305. Workspace keys are wrapped per-device and never transmitted in plaintext. Server operators — including us — cannot read file content or filenames.

Collaboration

  • Shared workspaces with role-based access (owner, editor, commenter, viewer)
  • Share links with expiry dates, passwords and download caps
  • File requests: collect files from people without accounts
  • Comments and @mentions on any file, synced to email

Administration

  • SAML 2.0 SSO (Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, JumpCloud)
  • SCIM provisioning and deprovisioning
  • Device inventory with remote wipe
  • Immutable audit log with CSV/JSON export and SIEM webhook

Platforms

Native clients for macOS 13+, Windows 10/11 and Linux (deb/rpm/AppImage). Mobile apps for iOS and Android with camera upload. Full-featured web client for everything else.
