marmite_sandwich Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Very confused. I invited a friend to use bt sync to share some data and he is not happy to pay. When I Google btsync, I find a commercial product and "BTSync.com is not affiliated with BitTorrent Inc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Correct - btsync.com is not affiliated in any with BitTorrent Inc. The official website for BitTorrent Sync is getsync.com A few warnings/considerations if you're thinking about using a "cloud storage for BitTorrent Sync"-type online service/website:BitTorrent Inc doesn't run or endorse any such cloud storage service for Sync The security of many of these sites is questionable - for example, btsync.com doesn't currently support encrypted nodes - so be aware of data security if you're considering syncing/sharing your sensitive data with these providers Sync is currently in "beta" - Therefore things may change as Sync develops and evolves which may break the functionality of these "cloud storage for BitTorrent Sync"-type online services. Be aware of this if you're considering taking out a lengthy subscription with such sites.The best advice I can give, if you require an "always on cloud" for Sync, would be to purchase a supported NAS drive or Home Server, plug it into your home router, and hey presto! - you've got yourself your very own "always on" cloud storage component for Sync! ...and this way you retain full control of your data - you know exactly where it is, plus it'll work out far cheaper than buying a subscription to one of these dubious "cloud storage for BitTorrent Sync"-type online services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
