Download BitTorrent Sync 2.1.4

Version 2.1.4 of BitTorrent Sync released. BitTorrent Sync is a closed source peer-to-peer file synchronization tool with clients for Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and various NAS devices. It makes it possible to synchronize files between various devices in-house, but unlike services such as Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive, it does not store anything on cloud systems.

The differences between the free and the paid version have increased since version 2.0. For example, with the free version only a maximum of ten folders can be synchronized and no permissions can be set. The main improvement in version 2.1 is the new version of the apic, which allows developers to build their own applications. The changelog since version 2.1.0 looks like this:
