1. 5/5Just discovered this platform and it’s fantastic!

   I was in need of a method for transferring large files to friends and family (20 plus GB file size) and Resillo sync for desktop is fantastic. After having a great experience on desktop I decided to try out the mobile app as well. Which is awesome for syncing photos to my pc for backup storage. As well as if I wanted to send photos and videos to my phone from my pc. All in all this platform is simply the best for sending files to and from separate devices, especially when they are very large. I will probably be purchasing a license very soon to support the company and I support any other happy customers to do the same to ensure this platform stays active for years to come :)

2. 4/5Super solid app.

   Lightning fast when sharing large files with different devices on the same network. Great for getting files shared between Windows/Apple/Android devices. It has a learning curve; if you don’t know what you’re doing it’s easy to screw things up. But after two years of using this extensively I can say confidently that, while not perfect, it’s easily the best service of its kind on the market. I dock half a star due to the steep learning curve that makes this service a daunting task for newbies and still a stiff joint for advanced users. I also dock half a star until the service becomes next-level about finding the most direct route to devices on different networks. It’s pretty good now, but I still have devices that are having trouble connecting directly despite my firewalls and router being configured properly. At the very least, better, video tutorials would achieve this star.

3. 2/5Needs some critical features

   App seems to work well but you have to select each individual file or photo individually. What kind of design choice is this?! I’m synchronizing tens of thousands of photos from a few select photo albums on my phone. Why can’t I select the album? Or why can’t I drag and select ranges of pictures? Instead I have to pick each photo individually and that takes FOREVER! I finally gave up after selecting 2,000 photos and decided to try a different app that does allow me to sync an album. I can’t see using this app without the ability to add albums. Hoping this will be fixed in the future because I want to use this app, it has promising features, but right now it’s too slow and too inefficient to use with tens of thousands of files. Please add ability to select a photo album and include updating changed pictures that have been added or removed from the selected album. I’m sure that I’m not the only person who has faced this issue.

4. 4/5Awesome personal cloud, needs alphabetical sort

   When my previous solution for keeping critical files synced between computers stopped being supported, I tried a lot of alternatives. Resilio Sync is by far the best solution, provided the devices you want to sync are on at the same time. They have apps for some NAS platforms, too, so now I have my own private cloud. The iOS app loses a star because it can’t do alphabetical sort: separating out folders should be a configurable option, not a requirement. It’s a real pain to have to check 2 different locations in a sorted list of several hundred items just because I don’t know if it’s a single file or a group of files in a folder. The whole point of an alphabetical sort is to alphabetize things so I can find them by name. If I wanted to sort by kind, I’d sort by kind.

5. 5/5Quick sync of files...but

   I love using this because of privacy reasons but it does have a flaw. It Will sync files like most cloud services but the app must be open and on in order for the files to sync on that device. For example my notes on my iPad saved on sync and I had to have the sync app opened on iPad in order for it to be seen and synced on my phone’s sync app. Once a file is synced it’s there though so it’s not too much to complain about but for those who want instant sync this won’t do it unless the sync apps are opened on all devices. This is mainly because the files are not placed in a random cloud server. Besides that it does what it is supposed to do.
