About Resilio Sync

Resilio Sync is a collaboration solution designed to help businesses in logistics, media and retail industries securely share media files of all types and sizes using peer-to-peer (P2P) technology. IT teams can utilize the selective sync functionality to synchronize selected folders or files and sub-folders across multiple devices.

Resilio Sync lets supervisors grant/revoke permissions to employees, allowing them to access specific files related to allocated tasks. The application allows employees to display real-time statuses of file transfers by displaying information such as remaining time, upload-speed details and more. Additionally, users can utilize mobile applications on Android and iOS devices to automatically create backups of photos or videos, even from remote locations.

Resilio Sync comes with an application programming interface (API), which facilitates integration with several third-party platforms, such as OneHub, Git, Jenkins, Mulesoft and more. Pricing is available on monthly subscriptions and support is extended via phone, email and other online measures.

    Resilio is one of the best subscriptions we have as a team. It is highly recommended if you work with large files that are difficult to email or send otherwise.

    Pros:
    The best part of this software is that it is relatively inexpensive and it allows you to simply drop large media files in to an integrated folder on your desktop. Our team uses this to share large media files because we cannot send them via email or another software. I think it is much better than dropbox because you don't have to log in or worry about the storage size.
    Cons:
    Sometimes there is a lag time between when you drop a media file in the folder, but it usually isn't more than an hour or so.

    Reasons for switching to Resilio Sync

    Dropbox was becoming a real hassle trying to handle the storage space.

    Excellent if security is your priority; learning curve inevitable for some.

    5

    Our experience with Resilio Sync has been positive, due to the overall security of our information, since we are in an industry where this factor is paramount. There have been some hiccups in introducing the system to others we work with, but the pros outweigh the cons for us. There are enough features to mitigate an error any user may makes when sharing company files and projects.

    Pros:
    Love that my information is secure and not stored on servers in unknown locations. I enjoy that I can share folders located anywhere on my PC. The backup "archive" feature is wonderful at ensuring any changes/deletions can be mitigated if unwanted.
    Cons:
    Some challenges when sharing folders with multiple people; occasionally I have to recreate a folder in order for all to be able to view/connect with it, which is problematic when users are located in a variety of locations and most are new to the program. There is some learning curve for some users to understand that the files are not being kept in a 3rd party location, such as file sharing programs where you can view the files online, because they are being stored by the company offering the service.

    Pros:
    Generally this software works to sync our server to our individual computers but we've had a myriad of challenges getting it to work. It's not intuitive for a 'non-computer geek.'
    Cons:
    It's hard to use. The GUI is really not intuitive.

    Pros:
    I used to be a heavy Dropbox user but have migrated to Resilio Sync for all of my data sync needs. The product is much more secure and does not quietly change your data without notice. It also truly works in a cross-platform setup and can optionally save files that are deleted or replaced by a remote node.
    Cons:
    Sync requires a little bit of planning and work to set up effectively. The administration is typically done in the browser which may not be to everyone's taste. File system overlays would be nice to have.

    Pros:
    The peer to peer and server to server syncing is fantastic. We use it primarily for syncing servers together for multiple locations. Nearly instantaneous syncing, even with millions of files. Truly best in class performance, as long as you have some fairly beefy hardware.
    Cons:
    The support. Absolutely terrible. Intuit or AT&T levels of bullshit terrible. Insultingly, amazingly, brutally awful. Might as well come with a caveat emptor label. Pretty sure Google Translate is involved, I also suspect infinite monkeys on keyboards.

    Dear Jake, We are sorry to hear you've got a negative experience with our Support organization. We are constantly working to improve so hopefully you'll like our support more.

    Sync simplifies our project workflow and offsite backup needs

    5

    We replaced Adobe Creative Cloud with Sync after our bandwidth was filled when all our LAN machines were trying to upload to Creative Cloud. We use Sync for working on all of our open projects. I was also able to get an offsite backup running using Sync on a NAS which saves me from physically carrying a RAID drive to and from our office every two weeks.

    Pros:
    I like that it just works. Once it's configured it runs without out. My staff uses the Selective Sync quite a bit to only access the project folders they are working on. The Archive has also saved us a few times.
    Cons:
    I think the trickiest part is understanding the Identity and device connection. I switched our Server to my "own" identity and have run all my devices, (phone, work laptop, Drobo, Server Mac) from the same identity for simplicity. Getting the offsite version configured with the Drobo was a bit tricky and customizing the power preferences so Sync doesn't hammer the hard drives was tricky however the support was helpful.

    Syncing at it's finest!

    5

    We appreciate Sync for the fact that we can share files quickly between different physical locations, that we can choose files or folder to share and who to share them with, that we can see the history of the syncing process as well as the progress of a current sync, and the fact that the syncing is seamless (we never have to think about it). It is also a great way to automatically backup files to another computer/device and, again, never have to think about it. We've never had a technical issue either.

    Pros:
    - The ability to share individual files or folders. - Fast file syncing. - Ability to see the progress of the sync. - Multiple ways to invite people to share the files/folders. - It doesn't impede the speed of the computer/internet. - It can be used on multiple devices.
    Cons:
    - Can't really think of any. We've been very pleased.

    Pros:
    Very easy to use. Download speeds between sites (each with many computers) are faster than one would expect, and LAN synchronization is basically instantaneous.
    Cons:
    It occasionally gets confused about temporary files (such as those generated by Microsoft Word and SpaceClaim). Resilio will try (and fail) to synchronize them, and some computers will end up thinking they're missing files from the share. It's a pretty minor issue, as no real data files are missing, but at a glance in the status window the share can look incomplete.
