![]() Let’s say your cloud service has an issue, resulting in its servers being unavailable for a few hours. Since in this case there is no account, the storage space only depends on the space you have available on the two (or more) devices you’re using. Using a cloud service means that you have to remain within the storage space your account has. As you can see below, I even got 5 MB per second. I have a very fast internet connection but, even on a slower one, speeds should be higher than on a cloud service as files are transferred directly. I’ve tried syncing 656MB RAR file, and the whole thing took around 3 minutes, while 720MB of MP3 files took around 12 minutes. Since transfer speeds don’t depend on a third-party server, the service is as fast as your internet connection can go. ![]() If security is essential, speed is another very important advantage. Since traffic is encrypted with a private key (the secret that’s given to you when you share a folder using BitTorrent Sync) and it goes from one computer to the other, chances for your files ending up in the wrong hands are pretty low. Not to mention the fact that government agencies might get their nose into your data too. I know they all have tons of security measures in place (and so they should), but if it’s stored on a server, hacking can happen. That’s what cloud sync services like Dropbox do, making your files more vulnerable. BitTorrent Sync doesn’t store your data on a server and then download it back to the devices it’s used on.
