Overview
Resilio Sync originated as BitTorrent Sync inside BitTorrent Inc. before being spun out as an independent company, Resilio, in 2016. It uses peer-to-peer BitTorrent-protocol technology to sync files directly between devices rather than routing them through a central cloud server.
The product line covers individuals (Sync Home and Sync Home Pro) and businesses (Sync Business, transitioning to Resilio Active Everywhere), with Resilio acquired by cloud file platform Nasuni in March 2026.
Key Features
Resilio Sync supports selective folder sync, file versioning, and cross-platform apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and many NAS devices, enabling fast transfer of very large files without a cloud storage intermediary.
Business deployments add centralized management, LDAP/Active Directory integration, and audit logging, targeting organizations that need private, point-to-point file distribution across offices.
Pricing
Individuals can use Sync Home for free with basic functionality, or purchase Sync Home Pro as a one-time $59.99 lifetime license covering unlimited devices for one person, with no recurring subscription.
Resilio Sync Business pricing is not published; it is a sales-gated, subscription-based product that requires contacting Resilio directly for a custom quote based on team size and required features.
