Resilio Sync 4+

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.

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.
