Resilio

Resilio Sync is a peer‑to‑peer file synchronization service based on BitTorrent technology. Instead of syncing through a cloud server, every device syncs directly with every other device, giving you:

• Fast transfers (LAN‑speed when local)
• End‑to‑end encryption
• No central server required
• Multi‑device mesh syncing
• Cross‑platform support
