Resilio is one of the best tools I have ever seen in this field backing up to NAS but also I tried Gs Richcopy 360, the tool is simple, fast, and affordable. but totally both are very similar.

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.

Resilio Sync has a few advantages over Syncthing: On Android it can modify the SD card, so you can have two-way sync, and I has selective sync where you can choose individual folders or files using a GUI and leave the rest on the "server". Unfortunately it is not as good at dealing with conflicts, etc. and can screw up timestamps of files, re-create files immediately after you deleted them, etc.

This is the perfect solution for backing up your mobile pictures and videos to your own server, file share, or NAS. In addition to "sync" functionality, it also works in backup mode, with a true one-way transfer.

In Syncthing, if you delete a picture on your phone, it deletes on your server/NAS/whatever too. Based on the GitHub issues I've read, the Syncthing developers are EXTREMELY resistant to adding any functionality that isn't specifically remote sync (e.g. keep this folder identical to this remote folder).

last version for iOS is 2.6.3 Dec 20, 2018. I wonder why. Maybe someone knows.

What is Resilio Sync ?

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.
