BitTorrent Sync for Android
BitTorrent Sync for Android allows you to sync and share files across multiple devices using P2P technology, delivering fast file transfers and unlimited storage capacity.
Features of BitTorrent Sync
BitTorrent Sync for Android is an excellent companion for users already utilizing BitTorrent Sync on Windows or Mac. The system operates based on P2P sharing using secret keys, which are long alphanumeric codes.
The Android app follows the same system, but simplifies the process by encoding the keys into QR codes, making it quick and easy to sync files between multiple devices (such as PC-to-mobile or mobile-to-mobile).
Main Features
- Sync: Syncs files from your mobile device to your PC using BitTorrent Sync (desktop version). Simply select the folder to sync on your phone, then scan the QR code generated by the desktop app to begin syncing.
- Send: Allows you to send or receive files between Android devices using QR codes, ensuring seamless file transfers.
- Backup: Backs up photos and videos from your phone to your PC.
Fast and Secure File Transfer
Syncing occurs directly through a P2P connection, ensuring high-speed file transfers. The app uses a 256-bit encryption algorithm to ensure the security of your data during the transfer process.
Power Saving Features
To conserve battery life, the app can be set to halt synchronization when your device’s remaining battery power falls below a specified threshold.
Intuitive and Easy-to-Use Interface
BitTorrent Sync for Android offers a clean and simple interface. The primary features—Sync, Send, and Backup—are clearly labeled with brief descriptions. Settings are accessed through the Android menu button, and the sync speed (both upload and download) is conveniently displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Unlimited Sharing Capacity
Thanks to the use of P2P technology, BitTorrent Sync does not rely on external servers, offering unlimited storage for syncing and sharing files.
Test results indicate good sync speeds, which largely depend on the quality of the connection. The app lets you decide whether to use your device’s data connection or sync files only via Wi-Fi, allowing for better control over your data usage.
Conclusion
BitTorrent Sync makes sharing and syncing files a simple, fast, and secure process. The use of P2P technology ensures high-speed transfers, while 256-bit encryption keeps your files safe. For those already using the desktop version, the Android app is an ideal complement, with QR code support for easy synchronization and file sharing between devices.
