Resilio Sync allows you to automatically sync files between computers via secure, distributed technology (P2P bittorrent protocol).
Fast, intelligent file transfers.
Sync skips the cloud and finds the shortest path between devices when transferring data. No Cloud. No uploading to third party servers. Just fast, simple file syncing.
Use your local network
You don't need the Internet to use Sync. Sync can utilize local networks even if the Internet is down or unavailable. You can even set up a router in a place with zero internet access to share data over a private network.
Intelligent synchronization.
Incremental updates
After you edit an existing file, Sync knows how to update only the parts that have changed rather than the entire file. This makes updates much faster, especially for large files.
Continuous synchronization and updating
Keep all of your shared folders up to date all the time across all devices. Updates and changes are synchronized immediately and automatically.
Pause specific folders
You can pause syncing for specific folders, or for everything at once. If you're in a situation with extremely limited connectivity you can turn off everything but the most important folders to ensure that information is synchronized as efficiently as possible.
On-demand access to files.
Save space with placeholder files
When 'Selective Sync' is on, Sync will create placeholder files in your filesystem that can be searched locally. Download only the files you need, when you need them, without having to replicate entire folders on every device. Placeholder files are representations of your files that can be double-clicked and downloaded locally.
Access massive files when you need them
Don't want to sync the entire contents of a folder to your device? Turn on 'Selective Sync' to save space. You can choose to only sync files on-demand, when you need them.

View allResilio Sync was added to AlternativeTo by Seth on Mar 18, 2013 and this page was last updated Oct 21, 2020. Resilio Sync is sometimes referred to as BTSync, BitTorrent Sync, Resilio.
If you make a software that is good and free and functional, and loved by its userbase, you won't earn any points by going commercial and screwing over said userbase that supported it in its infancy, with a poorly thought ot money-grab scheme, no-less.
Stay with version 1.4.111, and don't update the smartphone app. Or you can migrate to an alternative.
Can't agree more, i also stick to "BitTorrent Sync Beta" (v 1.4.111), that works flawlessly, and the old Android app (v 1.4.65.0).

This review "hits the nail on the head." (Just signed up to alternativeto.net in order to express this.) I've used BTS/Resilio for a number of years. Never been able to recommend it to anyone for business purposes. I have been slowly switching to syncthing for the last 6 months--so far so good.

I was very excited at first with the speed of this. (It was going to solve my problem of Spideroak slow as molasses syncing)
However I was using btorrent sync to sync up my work files across 3 devices, then I added a 4th the other day. I'm not sure if that's what did it, but all my work files were overwritten by older versions.
Luckily I keep multiple backups, if I can find them.
I am looking at a backup made on 9/20 and I have files in it as recent as 9/20. In my actual workfolder (synced with bittorrent sync) however the newest file is from 9/17. And a very, very important file has a modified date of 9/17 in the backup, but in actual workfolder it's got a date of 8/31. Not cool.
I'm not sure if it was the adding of the 4th device that did it, but I just noticed it and I added the device late last week.
So be careful with this one for now it has great potential but appears to have a serious problem at this point. Never forget to backup!
Here it is 2 years later and I was thinking they had this problem fixed. I was working on some code and couldn't figure out why it would overwrite my work with an old version a few seconds after every save. The point is not that I have backups and can salvage my work, but that it wastes tons of my valuable time picking through backups and looking for the latest version. And of course I did not realize what was happening right away for one set of files it was 10 days later I realized they had been switched. Looking through the Bittorent sync forums reveals many others with the same problem just left hanging and told to update to the next version to see if it happens again. The fact that this happens so rarely is a BAD thing not a good thing, because it's going to happen when you least expect it and you better be paying attention when it does. And when I restore the backups it goes back and writes the old version over it again and again. Had to uninstall btsync. Something is wrong with Btsync at a cellular level and if it hasn't been fixed by now it probably never will.

Didn't work on the enterprise.
It's slow as heck for syncing, about 10 minutes or more.
Closed source, not open source.
You can tail in the logs, it connects the deconnects and reconnects at will. Yeah, no thanks!
Don't install, look for something else!
Syncthing!

Resilio Sync does its job pretty good. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t recommend using the software on a remote computer, as it occasionally stops working: The software seems to have troubles with its log/cache files, hanging while initialization and using 100 % of CPU resources. After a computer restart, usually all preferences, including folders, are gone. At least files are never deleted or corrupted.
Tested with Linux Mint, Raspbian and Android. The bug occurs both on Mint and Raspbian. The Android App seems to be okay.
great peer-to-peer file synchronization but some feature are limited on free version
