14 DAY TRIAL // The folks over at BitTorrent have just released their official sync application on the Windows Phone platform. While you won’t be able to download torrents directly within your phone, BitTorrent Sync provides Windows Phone users with a set of neat features.
BitTorrent Sync users will be able to sync and share an unlimited number of files and folders across all your devices, including phones and PCs. All files regardless of their size and format can be shared between any number of devices.
Basically, the application works like a personal file syncing application, which means that it does not support any torrent file sharing applications. Instead, it offers features and functionality similar to other services like Box and Dropbox.
Aside from being able to access all your Sync folders and files directly from a Windows Phone device, BitTorrent Sync app also allows users to add photos from their smartphones to any of their Sync folders.
In addition, users can also automatically back up their Camera Roll to a folder on their computer any time they wish. According to developers, all file transfers are encrypted and protected by secure keys, so it’s never stored on a server in the cloud.
BitTorrent Sync offers ease of use when connecting the application to other Sync folders, which is very important while you’re on the move.
For more details on how exactly the application works, check out the "Introduction to BitTorrent Sync" video embedded within the article.
Keep in mind though that in order to get the best results with BitTorrent Sync app and avoid running up your data charges while syncing your mobile device, it is recommended to leave the "Use cellular data" setting off.
You can now download BitTorrent Sync for Windows Phone 1.3.11.0 for free via Softpedia. The application is only compatible with devices powered by Windows Phone 8 and up.
On a side note, those who need an application closer to a torrent app can download BitTorrent Remote, which allows them to access BiTorrent on their home computer and download any torrents they wish.
µTorrent Remote is another torrent app that does the same thing, only that this one provides access to µTorrent Remote on your PC. Both are available as free downloads via Windows Phone Store.
