Convenient file synchronization
About two years ago, I gave birth to a project — a small client program that is installed on any device and simply synchronizes files.
For example, you could specify that the documents will be synchronized between the home and work computer. Music and books between your home computer and telephone. Backup between home computer, work computer and server. Also this program could control the subsequent distribution of any file in the system. Ie you, as the owner, could always find out the history of the file: copying to a USB flash drive, to another computer, by “email”, etc.
Then I almost received financing, but the investment fund with which I worked at the last moment demanded a serious share in the business. And I decided that the game is not worth the candle. And then somehow it was not up to it.
Yes, you say, there are cloud storage and why it is needed when there is Yandex.Disk, Dropbox and a bunch of cloud file storage services. Well, it's just not always acceptable and convenient. Minuses:
1. You trust your files to a third party without any guarantees. (I’m not paranoid, but you don’t leave your intimate data in such storage)
2. To access them you need internet. And this is still not always possible in Russia with the necessary speed.
A holy place is never empty and BitTorrent has released something similar, but in a stripped-down form. Their program simply synchronizes files between different platforms and systems as soon as they are online or within the same subnet. Unfortunately, you cannot flexibly configure synchronization rules, but there is an excellent client that is administered through either through the native interface (WIndows, MAC OS X, Android, iOS) or via the web interface (* NIX).

I no longer climb for photos, documents and music on a mobile phone and do not climb to the server to pick up a rarely updated backup.
There are several folders in the home computer:
Phone
Server
Overall
Auto
To upload something to the phone, I simply copy the file to the “Phone” folder. It will appear on my phone in a few seconds.
To exchange documents with the guys at work, I throw in the shared folder. And in a few seconds this file will appear in all the people I need - locally and not in the cloud.
In the car, as a media center stands Google Nexus, for 3G it looks into the Internet. On my home computer I throw navigation maps and music into the Auto folder. Everything is automatically folded into the car. From the Auto / Registrar folder I take away the interesting moments taken by the video recorder (the device in the car is always online).
Saves a lot of time.
We wish BotTorrent success in the development of their wonderful project.
We swing .
Available in Google Play Market and Apple AppStor. I think soon will appear under the mobile version of Windows.
