Resilio Sync was introduced to me by Jonny at [[Z-Space]] for user friendly file sync across many platforms. It used to be called BitTorrent Sync (and now I'm down a [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resilio_Sync) rabbit hole - oh god,[comparison of file sync software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_synchronization_software))

This comparision of file sync software lists those that have Wikipedia articles.

It further splits it into Free and Open Source, Freeware, and Commercial.

These days, I'm interested in [[Sync Engines]].

Formerly BitTorrent Sync, Resilio was spun out into its own company in 2016.

> Resilio Sync synchronizes files using BitTorrent, The user's data is stored on the user's local device instead of in a "cloud", therefore requiring at least two user devices, or "nodes," to be online to synchronize files between them. Resilio Sync encrypts data with an Advanced Encryption Standard AES-128 key in counter mode which may either be randomly generated or set by the user. This key is derived from a "secret" which can be shared to other users to share data. Data is sent between devices directly unless the target device is unreachable (e.g. behind a firewall), in which case the data will first be relayed via an intermediary node. Many devices can be connected simultaneously and files shared between them in a mesh networking topology.
