Can you please explain why you prefer Syncthing over Bittorrent Sync?
Maybe this topic could even be explained in a short video (BT Sncy vs. Syncthing or so).
Thanks for your answer and thanks to everybody else who is willing to answer.
Its FLOSS (under GPLv3). BT Sync is proprietary, there's no way of knowing if its safe to use.
that's at least one reason.
"1.3 How does Syncthing differ from BitTorrent Sync?
The two are different and not related. Syncthing and BitTorrent Sync accomplish some of the same things, namely syncing files between two or more computers.
BitTorrent Sync by BitTorrent, Inc is a proprietary peer-to-peer file synchronization tool available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, WindowsPhone, Amazon Kindle Fire and BSD. Syncthing is an open source file synchronization tool.
Syncthing uses an open and documented protocol, and likewise the security mechanisms in use are well defined and visible in the source code. BitTorrent Sync uses an undocumented, closed protocol with unknown security properties."
