Content is kept up-to-date with automatic background sync based on startup, view, and configured time intervals. When online, modifications to content can immediately trigger synchronization. A 1-way sync configuration is available for read-only access. Configuration options can be set by individual users or locked by IT.

Easy to Deploy - Contributor Client supports any version of SharePoint (WSS 2.0/3.0, SharePoint Foundation, or SharePoint Server 2003/2007/2010) and it supports for terminal server environments. It's very quick and easy to deploy with a small 10 MB client install package and no server installation. The deployment Configuration Editor allows SharePoint Administrators to easily pre-configure sites for sync, set automatic sync intervals, configure storage locations, and more. Custom SharePoint client solutions can be developed using the Contributor Software Development Kit.
No training needed - Thousands have used Contributor without reading any documentation. In many cases users find the application easier to use than SharePoint itself. The UI is very intuitive, borrowing many visual elements from applications like Microsoft Outlook® and Microsoft Windows Explorer.
