# Synchronize Documents using SparkleShare
Share documents with your entire team right from your desktop! By using Planio's [Git repositories](https://plan.io/subversion-hosting-and-git-hosting/) and [SparkleShare](https://plan.io/sparkleshare/), you can finally replace file sharing solutions such as Dropbox™ or Box™ and benefit from full integration and super [secure hosting made in Germany](https://plan.io/privacy/).

After the installation has finished, SparkleShare will present you with your unique **Link Code** (or public key as it's called in Planio). Click on the **Copy** button next to it.
## Paste your link code into Planio
Within Planio, navigate to **My account** -\> **Public keys** and click on **Add**.
Give your key a name, for instance the name of your computer, and paste the SparkleShare link code you copied previously.
