App summary

Sync lets you transfer files directly from device to device. Share photos, videos, docs without storage limits: our technology works especially well with huge files.

Create your own private cloud. Connect devices and sync files securely between your Mac, PC, NAS, and even server. Use Sync on your mobile to access the files you keep on your home computer or work laptop.

Sync encrypts all files during transfer and never stores any of your information on third-party servers. This means your data is protected against identity theft or attacks.

No storage limits
• Sync as much data as you have on your hard drive or SD card.
• Add large files of any size to your synced folders and transfer them up to 16x faster than the cloud.

Automatic camera backup
• Sync will back up photos and videos as soon as you take them.
• You can then delete photos from your phone and save space.
• Set up backup of any info from your phone to a folder on your computer.

Any device and platform
• Access folders and upload files to your tablet, PC, Mac, NAS, and even server from anywhere.

One Time Send
• The fastest and most private way to send files to friends and family.
• Send one or more files to multiple recipients without sharing the whole folder or creating a permanent sync connection.
• Send photos, videos, movies, or any other large file directly to friends.

Direct transfers, no cloud
• Your information is never stored on servers in the cloud, so nobody can access it without your permission.
• Transfer files directly and fast using BitTorrent peer-to-peer technology (p2p).
• Connect two devices by taking picture of a QR code, even if you are in local network without internet connection.

Save space
• Selective Sync lets you save only the files you need.
• Clear synced files to free up space on your device.

Supports all file types
• Sync photos, videos, music, PDFs, docs and books library to your Android phone or tablet.

To get the best performance and to avoid running up your data charges while syncing folders, we recommend leaving the "Use Cellular Data" setting off.

Note: Resilio Sync is a personal file syncing manager. It is not compatible with torrent file sharing applications.

Version 3.0.1 still crashes immediately on devices running Android 7.1.1.. Verified using a Galaxy Tab A, SM-T350, 2017 model. Please ensure each version of Android can launch the app, not just more recent versions of Android. Many users of this app have a couple subtly older devices they still want to sync to.

The app used to work just fine for years, but the latest September 2024 update just makes it not launch at all. It's completely unusable in its current state. edit October 2nd 2024: Now it launches, but whenever you add a folder (even a blank testing folder) it freezes and is unusable. Will start looking for another solution, this is unacceptable

I've been using this app for 8+ years on mobile and desktop. It works great on mobile but at some point it started killing my battery even with 0 syncs for multiple days straight. Each day it is at the top of my battery usage list. Using the battery saver feature in app doesn't help. I've had to stop auto starting the app and now manually start/stop it only when needed. It's annoying since it should be a background app that I shouldn't have to babysit. Also the new app logo is terrible.
