Resilio Sync
Peer-to-peer file sync that skips the cloud, giving you fast, private, and unlimited file sharing across all devices.
About Resilio Sync
Resilio Sync is a peer-to-peer file synchronization tool that lets you sync folders directly between your devices without routing data through third-party cloud servers. Built on BitTorrent technology, it typically delivers 2-10x faster transfer speeds compared to traditional cloud sync services, making it especially effective for large files and media workflows. Unlike Dropbox or Google Drive, Resilio Sync keeps your data entirely under your control — files travel directly between your devices with end-to-end encryption, and nothing is stored on external servers. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and NAS devices, with features like selective sync, real-time folder monitoring, and granular permission management. With the release of Sync 3.0, all previously paid Pro features are now included in the free personal edition, including selective sync, permission management, and file send capabilities. Business users can access multi-user plans with premium support. Resilio Sync is ideal for privacy-conscious individuals, creative professionals handling large media files, and teams that need fast, reliable file sharing without cloud storage limits.
