What is SyncGate?

Understand SyncGate and how tenants, API keys, and S3 storage work together.

SyncGate is intelligent file infrastructure — a secure, plan-aware layer on top of object storage with API keys, usage tracking, billing, and enterprise security built in.

Each customer or project gets a tenant (workspace). Tenants hold API keys, files, usage metrics, and billing. Your applications call SyncGate instead of managing storage credentials directly.

How it works

  • You register and receive a tenant on the Starter plan.
  • Create an API key scoped to that tenant.
  • Upload, download, and delete files via the `/api/s3` endpoints.
  • Monitor usage, billing, and security from the dashboard.
Info SyncGate uses standard `/api/s3` endpoints — designed for drop-in integration with existing file workflows.

First steps checklist

  • Complete onboarding and verify your email address.
  • Create your first API key on the API Keys page.
  • Upload a test file via curl or the Files browser.
  • Open the Dashboard to confirm usage is recording.
  • Invite teammates if you need collaboration (Team page).
Tip Use your tenant slug as the `client` parameter in S3 API calls — you can find it in the dashboard tenant selector or workspace settings.
