BitTorrent Sync offers seamless synchronization and sharing between multiple devices using peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to maximize file transfer speeds and unlimited storage.

BitTorrent Sync Features

Android users who have already benefitted from the BitTorrent Sync application on Windows or Mac will find the Android app a perfect companion. It implements the same P2P sharing system, with secret keys in the form of alphanumeric codes, encapsulated as QR codes. You can easily and rapidly synchronize files between multiple devices, PC-mobile, or mobile-to-mobile.

BitTorrent Sync goes beyond mere file synchronization. It offers three key functions:

Sync: Allowing you to synchronize the shared files of your mobile device with your PC through BitTorrent Sync (desktop version). You start this process by selecting the folder to be synchronized on your smartphone then scanning the QR code generated by BitTorrent Sync on your PC or Mac.

Send: Enhancing file mobility by enabling you to send or receive files via QR codes to another smartphone that runs on BitTorrent Sync for Android.

Backup: Providing smart protection for your files by backing up photos and videos from your phone to your PC.

With BitTorrent Sync, file transfer happens directly through a P2P connection for high-speed transfers. Additionally, a 256-bit encryption algorithm ensures the security of your data. The application includes a battery-saving feature, enabling you to halt synchronization when your device's battery falls below the pre-set percentage.

User-friendly Interface

The interface of BitTorrent Sync for Android is appealing and easy-to-navigate. Sync, Send and Backup—the three main functionalities come with clear, straight forward explanations. In a clutter-free presentation, important information such as syncing speeds of uploads and downloads is displayed conveniently at the bottom of the screen.

Endless File Sharing

Thanks to the P2P file-sharing component and the absence of reliance on external servers, BitTorrent Sync offers an infinite storage and file sharing capacity. The synchronization speed was impressive in our tests, although it is heavily reliant on the quality of the internet connection. BitTorrent Sync allows you to define the type of connection for synchronization, offering either device data or Wi-Fi for the process.

Conclusion

With BitTorrent Sync you enjoy quick and easy file sharing and synchronization. It uses P2P technology to deliver high-speed synchronization, and additionally, the data protection algorithm secures your files through 256-bit encryption during transfer. Android users who already use the desktop version will find it convenient and functional, thanks to the use of QR codes for sending files and synchronizing content with PCs.
