From the folks that brought you the equally praised and vilified BitTorrent file sharing technology comes a file syncing solution similar to DropBox and other product. BitTorrent Sync allows you to sync files between any number of computers without using an intermediary server or system. Computers communicate directly between each other using BitTorrent technology. One major benefit is that you aren't limited to the file storage provided by the company, like DropBox, but only your own local disk space.
BitTorrent Sync is released under the BItTorrent Labs banner and it is beta -- still a work in progress, but I wanted to give it a try to compare it to DropBox, which I have been using to share and deliver large video files to clients and friends. The basic functionality seems to work well and quickly and I continue to use it to see what issues may arise.
