![]() But so far this works fine for me the phone is unlikely to exceed 10 shared folders, and I only need the (pay-for) "change peer access rights" feature on the main identity anyway. There's only one problem with this: if you paid for BTSync then only your main identity has the extra features. Disconnecting the peer is sufficient (or so I believe). But if the phone uses a separate identity, you don't even have to recreate those folders that were shared with the phone. If you link the phone to your main identity then you can't disconnect it that's just how this security model works. Second, if you lose your phone, you simply Disconnect that peer (and never use that phone's identity again). That's it! This gains you two things: first, your phone can no longer sync every folder available to you, but only those folders which you specifically shared with your phone. Then make the trusted home desktop the owner of the folder, and share it with the phone in "Read & Write" mode. Instead of linking your phone to your main identity, create a new identity for it. Here's an easy work-around that can be used today. A major pain if you have tons of folders and devices. It basically tells you to remove every folder and re-add to all the other devices. The official procedure for a lost phone is this. But by default, my phone is still authorized to pull the company accounting files and photo archives and everything else, even though I don't want my phone to have access to these (they are there to be synced to my laptop and another desktop). I only want the phone to have access to the e-books and Titanium backup folders. There's an e-book folder and a folder with my phone's Titanium backups. Some contain accounting stuff for my company and personal notes. The problem is that I have a dozen folders of varying level of sensitivity. ![]() This is great for convenience, but sucks for security, the classic trade-off. You no longer need to share each folder with every device specifically. But the Sync's 2.0 model is such that every linked device has the ability to pull every folder I have in my folder list. In addition, the use of P2P ensures that you can store and share potentially unlimited amounts of data and during our tests we were impressed by the performance and speed of synchronization of the app.I love the idea of syncing files to the phone. These are the main differences between BitTorrent Sync and online storage services such as Dropbox or SkyDrive. You can see more in our video:īitTorrent Sync does not rely on an external server and offers no public file sharing capabilities. Using the program is easy, but there are hundreds of other more advanced features too long to list here. You can choose to be notified at the end of a download, whether to set a bandwidth limit for uploading and downloading files and you can choose to run the app automatically when your computer starts. Preferences allows you to set BitTorrent Sync according to your needs. History shows you a history of all transfers Shared Folders shows the folders you have shared plus transfers in real time synchronizations, download and upload in progress The interface of BitTorrent Sync is organized in tabs:ĭevices shows the computers with which you are synchronized ![]() Data security is ensured by an algorithm instead of 256-bit encryption. Syncing occurs through a direct P2P connection, which ensures a very high transfer rate. There are 3 types of secret keys to be used according to your needs: keys with read and write access keys with read-only access and disposable keys to be used within 24 hours (read-only or read/write). ![]()
