Once I had my folders set up properly, I downloaded the Sync app to my Galaxy S5 and set about linking it to my computer.
Any file or folder edited on one device is updated to all other linked devices, although an archive feature can retrieve anything that was overwritten by something worse than the original. Sync’s biggest asset isn’t actually its ability to send people files-it’s the fact that, by linking devices together on one account, it basically creates a long-range local access network.

Over the past two years, BitTorrent has made monumental strides in proving that torrent technology can be useful for something other than watching Game of Thrones without an HBO subscription.
