If you are the type of person who uses several devices to work online, I’m sure you must be using, or at least wishing to use, a method for syncing files and directories among those devices.

BitTorrent Sync, also known as btsync for short, is a cross-platform sync freeware which is powered by BitTorrent, the famous protocol for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. Unlike classic BitTorrent clients, however, btsync encrypts traffic and grants access to shared files based on auto-generated keys across different operating system and device types.
