Sync from Android to AWS Server

[rweiser-manual-reg-by-adm]

Hi. I'm new to Bittorrent development and I was hoping someone here could give me some direction on how to get started.

My goal is to enable my Android app (already built) to use the BitTorrent protocol to sync images that have been captured by the app up to our Amazon AWS servers. Would doing so require our users to separately install the BitTorrent Sync client on their Android devices? Or is there some way to build the BitTorrent engine into our Java-based Android app? If the latter, where can I find details on how to do that (and what to do on the other end - the AWS side)?

Thanks.

Whilst there is an API available for Sync (see: http://getsync.com/api), it isn't presently available for mobile devices. Therefore, your users would need to install the Sync Android app on their devices, and you would also need to install Sync in your AWS

Thanks, @GreatMarko.

Hi, @GreatMarko. Any chance there's an update here - the ability to build Sync (Resilio Connect) into our Android app without having the user install the Sync Android app separately?

 

Thanks.

@Rweiser Not at the moment. Currently, API only available for desktops.
