Author Topic: BitTorrent Sync - forget you dropbox and google drive  (Read 839 times)

BitTorrent Sync is a alternative to most cloud storage systems, like Dropbox and Google Drive. However, this is much better than both of them.

The files you upload never get put on servers, so no one can spy on or attack your files. So that way, all your files stay secure and safe. You can also access your files anywhere, and open documents, photos, and other things on any device. Be it PC, Smartphone, and other things. Your files also get uploaded at super fast speed, no matter where you are. Have that 100 GB file? It'll probably go to there in minutes, maybe even seconds. Best of all, it's free, and there are no file size limits. No restrictions whatsoever.

Yes, this sounds like a walking advertisement. but this is something I'd like to tell to a lot of people, because it's better than most cloud services I've ever seen.

Anyways, more info and downloads are here.

User’s data is stored on the local hard disk instead of a cloud, requiring at least one computer online to host the files.

Just want to make sure that's understood.

I leave my computer on at all times, so that's not much of a problem.

Sounds to me like it's better than neither.

This is why I mentioned what I did. It was misleading.

its in the cloud but it's hosted off your own drive

so its a home server?? HOW REVOLUTIONARY

its alright, i used it for a while
it requires a computer always on which sucks, good for transferring files between computers though

use a real cloud service

No this is obviously better because reasons.

This might be the best solution for say, backing files up on a remote server, however.
