BitTorrent Sync

Cloud type storage without the cloud. It's a pity that they didn't make up another host name as this is probably going to be blocked on most corporate networks.

Have you used this? It came up in a debate of how we can sync some data between sites at one of my clients.

The only thing that was "frowned" upon was that the data isn't stored on the cloud as well (Like Dropbox). Irrational fear though, since their 6 sites are in totally different parts of the country. Highly doubt they will all go up in flames at the exact same time :erm:

Started playing around tonight, seems okay but the lack of a centralised login is a bit of a gripe. I guess I could figure out a cross device method of managing the secret keys and qr codes but then there doesn't seem to be a way of controlling access from other users.

Installed client on my MacBook, shared the Downloads folder and it generated a long link.

Installed client on my Dell, doubled clicked the link from MacBook , it opened up the program asked where it wanted to sync to on Dell.

But now all i see is "Pending approval"
