StrikerI forgot to check the oil pressure

Has anybody from here heard about BitTorrent Sync? If you use it, how well does it perform?
If not, what is your favorite file-syncing app(not necessarily cloud)?

I use Dropbox but I'm looking for alternatives.

Ive heard its ok, the negative hype comes from the fact that its bittorrent.
I don't use anything right now apart from copy paste, but if i did it would probably be ftp mapped folders and something like Synkron or Unison, maybe even rsync depends if i need it.

I've had it for quite a while now. I initially thought it was better because it was more secure, but I can't say I've had much of a chance to test it. I intended it to send photos from my phone straight into my computer, but the Android app doesn't seem to work well. Or maybe it's my phone, I don't know. So I haven't used it much. It definitely seemed interesting.

I like the wi-fi transfer for android.
You sign into a website that acts as a file browser for your phone. Then you can just drag and drop onto your computer.
It's not so much a sync application, but at least you don't need to plug it in.

To do that I just use AirDroid.
