Accellion have been providing this in app editing function since last year.

    Terrible Product

    We installed Syncplicity at a Client's Office.

    Utterly terrible experience.

    1) Kept de-syncing files between users.

    2) Syncplicity would, without notice, remove essential features, eg sub-folder syncing/sharing.

    3) Top management don't care about their Client's problems, simply ignore their users.

    Avoid.
