FileMaker, Inc. publishes a GoZync case study featuring real-estate inspections.
Sync your FileMaker Go files anytime, anywhere, and use them offline. Update and deliver new builds without using cumbersome workarounds like email or iTunes. No matter where your users are, GoZync will protect the integrity of your data over nearly any connection.
GoZync is the most reliable and most transparent framework for developers to sync their offline FileMaker Go files. Built solely in FileMaker Pro (no plugins) it’s designed for you to modify.
GoZync 5 is built for developers to get inside and modify. This means you have control over your syncs and how they fit in with your app. Watch how we script the workflow of checking out workorders: only completed workorders are checked back in so they can be invoiced.
The example file shown in this video is included with GoZync and can be a great starting point for your own mobile file.
GoZync 5 also adds Perform Script on Server so syncs are even faster. Learn what’s new in GoZync 5.
GoZync 5 makes some substantial speed improvements when pulling records by introducing Perform Script on Server (PSOS). This radically reduces the time it takes to determine which records have changed.
The free version of GoZync lets you sync a single table with up to 10 devices–and this may be all the sync some people need. When you do need more than the free version offers, you can turn on the demo from within the free version. Demo mode lets you extend your sync with up to five table occurrences and ten devices for two weeks. When the demo’s over just enter a GoZync license to continue syncing or expand your configuration to new tables.
Easily deliver new data – or even a whole new database – to your users. Your users can simply click “update” to download the latest version of your mobile file. You can decide if files come down empty, or with data already populated, as you might do with price lists or catalogs. And of course our scripts can prevent users from updating their local copy while it has new records that haven’t yet been sent to your main solution.
In addition to this in-app updating, you can deploy GoZync as a file delivery portal – like a mini App Store – so your users can get copies of new apps you distribute straight from the source.
And keeps checking as you make changes after you’ve deployed.
Easily spot errors and check sync speed with detailed (and editable) logs for each device.
Install new and updated mobile files without iTunes.
Borrow scripts from the example file (shown: GoZync for FileMaker 17)
Unlocked example file can be a reference or the starting point for your own FMGo file.
GoZync is very fast at syncing container fields.
Simply edit this script and create a find request for each table. Any records in that found set which have changed since the last sync are pulled down.

GoZync requires FileMaker 13 or higher. You can sync FMGo-to-FileMaker Server or FMGo-to-FileMaker Pro: GoZync does not require FileMaker Server, though the new Perform-Script-On-Server features in GoZync 5 only work on FileMaker Server 13 or higher. GoZync works on Mac, Windows, and iOS using the latest version of FileMaker Go.
