I was in need of a method for transferring large files to friends and family (20 plus GB file size) and Resillo sync for desktop is fantastic. After having a great experience on desktop I decided to try out the mobile app as well. Which is awesome for syncing photos to my pc for backup storage. As well as if I wanted to send photos and videos to my phone from my pc. All in all this platform is simply the best for sending files to and from separate devices, especially when they are very large. I will probably be purchasing a license very soon to support the company and I support any other happy customers to do the same to ensure this platform stays active for years to come :)

Lightning fast when sharing large files with different devices on the same network. Great for getting files shared between Windows/Apple/Android devices. It has a learning curve; if you don’t know what you’re doing it’s easy to screw things up. But after two years of using this extensively I can say confidently that, while not perfect, it’s easily the best service of its kind on the market.I dock half a star due to the steep learning curve that makes this service a daunting task for newbies and still a stiff joint for advanced users. I also dock half a star until the service becomes next-level about finding the most direct route to devices on different networks. It’s pretty good now, but I still have devices that are having trouble connecting directly despite my firewalls and router being configured properly. At the very least, better, video tutorials would achieve this star.

App seems to work well but you have to select each individual file or photo individually. What kind of design choice is this?! I’m synchronizing tens of thousands of photos from a few select photo albums on my phone. Why can’t I select the album? Or why can’t I drag and multi-select ranges of pictures at one time? Instead I have to pick each photo individually and that takes FOREVER! I finally gave up after selecting 2,000 photos and figured I’ll go a different route. I thought this would be the answer for me but I can’t see using this while operating this way and picking each photo individually, it’s just too inefficient. Hoping this will be fixed in the future because I could see using this app but I’m sure that I’m not the only person who has faced this issue.

When my previous solution for keeping critical files synced between computers stopped being supported, I tried a lot of alternatives. Resilio Sync is by far the best solution, provided the devices you want to sync are on at the same time. They have apps for some NAS platforms, too, so now I have my own private cloud. The iOS app loses a star because it can’t do alphabetical sort: separating out folders should be a configurable option, not a requirement. It’s a real pain to have to check 2 different locations in a sorted list of several hundred items just because I don’t know if it’s a single file or a group of files in a folder. The whole point of an alphabetical sort is to alphabetize things so I can find them by name. If I wanted to sort by kind, I’d sort by kind.
