I'm evaluating btsync for various use-cases. The big question I have is, if you have a large file that is being modified or is in initial sync, can the syncing device open the file? I would hope:
1) On initial sync, the file cannot be opened until the file is completely synced. Meaning it doesn't even show in OS (it's probably doing the sync in a temp space somewhere)
2) In a sync initiated by change of the file, the opened file is still the previous version until the updated file is completed.

Can anyone verify these assumptions?
