Overview

Resilio Sync is an app that syncs folders between your own devices using peer-to-peer transfer rather than a cloud service. 'Selective Sync' leaves placeholder files so you download only what you need, and bandwidth limits control when transfers run. It can also send large files directly to other people without sharing a whole folder or setting up a permanent sync.

Best for: Home users syncing photos, video and documents across their own devices without a cloud service.
Pricing: The page offers a free licence and a free download that now includes all features previously limited to a paid Sync Pro plan; no prices are shown.
Runs on: macOS

Trade-offs
