"While we have general statistics about the BitTorrent Sync app, we don’t have any access to private information," the company wrote, by way of reassuring people that their data is safe. Since the alpha launch in April, the software has been used to sync more than 8PB of data, BitTorrent said. BitTorrent Sync can also run on Linux-based Network Attached Storage devices. There's no word yet on when the software will be robust enough to drop the "beta" label.īesides Android, Sync has versions for Windows, Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD. There are various bug fixes, and the beta software should be more stable than the alpha version. The beta version of BitTorrent Sync is expected to go live at noon Eastern time and will be available for download here.
"Unobtrusive and searchable, this feature has been in high demand and will evolve over time." It will include a folder where you can see all previous versions of your files," BitTorrent's announcement said.
The "SyncArchive" feature "is a basic versioning capability introduced with the Beta. The first mobile app is for Android an iOS version will follow soon. Some new features-including "mobile apps and an archive capability for retrieving previous versions of synced files," BitTorrent said-have been added since we went hands-on with the alpha version of the software back in April. today plans to release a beta version of BitTorrent Sync, software that provides Dropbox-like syncing using the same peer-to-peer file sharing technology that powers BitTorrent clients. The largest folders I've seen had over a terabyte of data in them, but you probably want the pro version (with selective sync) for those.BitTorrent, Inc. It doesn't cost us anything and works really well. I use Resilio as a "big Dropbox" with dozens of gigabytes of data per folder, shared across a small-ish group of trusted friends. End-to-end encryption is supported, both in the free and the pro versions, although the latter gives you much more control over who can do what to the folder. The developers also provide turn servers, which is useful in restrictive NAT scenarios. Not sure if this is still a thing, but Resilio solves this perfectly, you just input a secret key and computers just connect automatically. My biggest issue with Syncthing was that there was no auto-discovery, if you had 25 or so computers across a group of friends, you needed to set up 25^2 connections, which wasn't really feasible. It's a proprietary, more polished alternative that offers a freeware license for personal use. I have to pitch Resilio Sync (formerly Bittorrent Sync) here.
