Is there a reason not to use Dropbox for this use-case? It does live, real-time sync fairly well.
- WorldMaker 10y agoIn this use case, BitTorrent Sync has the slight advantage in of it being directly peer-to-peer between the machines without a cloud go-between. Use Dropbox if it works for you, of course. From what I've seen, though, Dropbox sync is similar to OneDrive's and it's close enough to real-time that you can use it that way most of the time, but I still think you are in an edge case compared to what a cloud storage tool is likely to optimize for (which is typically save to the cloud first, then eventually sync up all your other machines).
