#ALTERNATIVE TO BITTORRENT SYNC TV#

So far, I don't see it replacing Google Drive, but I do see myself using it to distribute pictures and home videos to my family, keeping my games in sync across all my PCs, possibly synchronizing recorded TV shows, making backups, and using it at work. The rest will use BTSync to stay in sync. I haven't done it yet, but I will probably only run Google Drive on one of my PCs.

This means that I don't have to move anything, I don't have to change Windows configurations, or anything. I can setup each folder in BTSync without moving it.

With BTSync, I don't have to move the folders. So I have to move my system folders to that sync'd folder in order to get them to sync. This is necessary since most cloud drives require the sync'd files to be in a particular folder. In my previous post, I talked about changing the default location of system folders.

That way they can install the games ahead of time to make sure they work.Īnother idea I had was to use BTSync to replace NQSync (which I had originally intended to write using the bittorrent protocol anyway). I've added it to BTSync and will hand out the RO key via Facebook and email to everybody coming to the party. I setup a folder where I intend to put all the installers and files needed (including my dosbox folder). This allows me to play a game on my desktop then save the game, exit Dosbox, go to the living room and launch Dosbox and pick up the saved game right where I left off. By synchronizing the working directory for Dosbox (a DOS emulator) I can access the games, save files, and anything else on any of my computers. I play retro DOS games every once in a while. Have you started thinking about the possibilities yet?Īnother thing I did right away with BTSync was to synchronize my Dosbox working directory across all my PCs. They would then get copies of any pictures you put in your pictures folder (think of doing this with your iCloud Photo Stream). For example, you could setup your pictures folder and hand out the RO secret to family members. This is a good way of distributing files to friends. The RO secret allows the person to whom you give it to sync your folder to a folder on their system, but they won't be able to make changes to your folder. You can however, give out two other types of secrets: a read only secret and a one time secret. Any changes either of you make will be reflected in the other's sync'd folder. If you give another person the secret to your folder, they can sync your folder with a folder on their computer.

While other offerings essentially require you to have an account in order to have RW access to a shared folder, BTSync will allow anyone with the app to access/sync your folder as long as they have the secret, a special, very long, very complicated password. Sharing is another feature that is different from other offerings. You can install any office productivity suite locally (or even use google docs in a roundabout way). However, since there is no web access to your files (because they're not on any corporate server) you'll only be accessing your files from your desktop. As such, there are no online editors for your files. Unlike most of the corporate cloud based drives, BTSync is only about the file transfers. That may be two advantages in some peoples' books. So, unlimited size but no storage on any corporate servers. If you add a folder to BTSync only on one computer, the files aren't copied anywhere.

While Cloud based drives can be used for backup, BTSync doesn't back your content up to the internet. This is mainly due to the fact that your sync'd files are not stored on some limited corporate server somewhere, they're stored only on the systems where your files are synchronized. First of all, there is no limit to the amount of content that can be synchronized. So, let me highlight some of the reasons that BTSync intrigues me. 2Shared with Gmail and Google+ Hi Res PhotosĤIf you have a paid subscription to Office360ĥNot necessarily Gmail users, but anyone with a Google account
