Where Mega ’s big claw / gimmick isencryption , BitTorrent Sync ’s is , well , BitTorrent . And that could stand to be a middling big vantage ; BitTorrent has other things going for it aside from the whole piracy thing , namely speed . It ’s passably much the way to download with child files , copyright or not . Sync offers the same partake booklet functionality Mega does . And encoding ?

It ’s important to note that while Sync will kind of - sorta function the way a cloud storage armed service does , it is not actually cloud storage . alternatively , the file in your movement will be sprinkled among the devices with entree to that drive . The top side is that the limitation of your ride is only limited by the infinite on your collective devices . Also , no third - company has access code to those files , freeing Sync from the need ofthe sort of “ see - no - iniquity ” encryption Mega has . But you ’re also not getting any free outer space , and if it ’s just you and your one reckoner , it wo n’t be much help .
When it come to create a communal backup drive of whatever - kind - of - files between a whole bunch of devices , however , Sync could be antic . you’re able to your friends desire to share a fully grown ol’ cyber - cupboard stuffed with everybody ’s collection of goodies ? wait no further . But how it contain up in practice session will only be exonerated once it launches for real . As for now , you could sign up for pre - alpha approach , but BitTorrent stresses the service still very preliminary ( read : batty ) . But it may not be long before using BitTorrent is more than just leeching from strangers on the net . [ TorrentFreak ]
