I know what you are thinking: BitTorrent has officially managed to open the gates of piracy to iOS users. However, that’s not even remotely the case.
BitTorrent has released a new version of its Sync app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The goal: to compete with Dropbox and to address users’ privacy concerns related to cloud services.
A beta of Sync has been available for Android since July and the brand new iOS app enables you to do the exact same thing as on Google-based devices: you can share your content on all your devices, including a PC or Mac, without file size limits or all the hassle that comes with cross-platform syncing. Sync doesn’t even rely on servers or the cloud, keeping your information safe and secure.
Here’s BitTorrent official description of Sync:
