Free online storage - fast & secure, userfriendly & reliable!

BitTorrent Launches Private and Secure Dropbox Alternative BitTorrent Inc. has released a new application that allows users to securely sync folders to multiple devices using the BitTorrent protocol. The free application has no storage limits and can serve both as a public backup system and a shared drive. BitTorrent Sync is especially efficient for groups who need to share many large files over the Internet,. BitTorrent is a very powerful distribution tool. Just ask Twitter and Facebook, two major technology companies that rely on BitTorrent technology to distribute files across their networks. For the public, however, there’s never really been a good tool to securely backup and sync files over the Internet via BitTorrent. BitTorrent Sync has very similar functions to those offered by popular cloud storage services such as Dropbox and Skydrive, except for the fact that there’s no cloud involved. Other advantages are that transfers generally go a lot faster with BitTorrent, and that there are no storage limits.
