Today, June 15th 2026, at 00:00 UTC, we are proud to announce the release of Syncplify Server! v8.0.0, a new major version that represents the most significant step forward in the product’s history. While every release we ship reflects the same obsessive commitment to security and reliability our customers have come to expect, V8 is different in scope: it touches nearly every subsystem, introduces capabilities we have never offered before, and sets the foundation for the next several years of the platform.
Here’s what’s new.
What’s changed?
Containerization support. For the first time in Syncplify Server!’s history, you can run it in Docker, Kubernetes, Portainer, or any OCI-compatible container runtime. This has been one of the most requested capabilities over the years, and V8 delivers it properly.
All-new High Availability subsystem. The HA architecture has been rewritten from the ground up. Performance and resilience are orders of magnitude ahead of any previous HA implementation, and for the first time the product ships with a full, genuinely elegant observability stack so you can actually see what your cluster is doing.
OIDC support with app-passwords. Full OpenID Connect integration, with individual configurations per Virtual Site (SuperAdmin, Admin, and User tiers each have their own settings). App-passwords ensure that legacy protocol clients continue to work seamlessly alongside modern SSO flows.
Internationalization (i18n). A genuinely large effort, and one we’re particularly proud of. V8 ships with full UI localization in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, with more languages on the way.
Custom HTTP headers. You can now define custom HTTP response headers for the Admin UI, SuperAdmin UI, and WebClient! UI independently, giving you fine-grained control over security posture and compliance requirements.
Backed by SyngoDB with true ACID transactions and compound indices. The underlying database engine has been significantly upgraded, bringing true multi-document ACID transactions and compound index support that underpins the reliability of everything built on top of it.
Improved visuals and UX across all interfaces. Every UI in the product, Setup, SuperAdmin, Admin, and WebClient!, has received a meaningful refresh, particularly with regards to accessibility and user experience. The changes are evolutionary rather than disruptive, but the cumulative effect is noticeable.
The usual collection of bug fixes, because no release ships without us having hunted down everything we could find.
Please make sure you read the upgrade instructions carefully. As always, you can download the most recent release from our website.
Thank you for trusting our software with your secure file transfers. V8 is something we’re genuinely proud of, and we hope you find it worth the wait.
