Today, I received my invitation to alpha test BitTorrent SyncApp. I can only imagine the implications this will open up. Although Dropbox is safe, secure, and redundant, how safe is your files? SyncApp is interest, I generate a secret key and designate my “SyncApp” folder. I fire it up my laptop and install SyncApp.exe and punch in my secret key. Immediately, over 2,800+ files in my WordPress localhost is synced to my laptop. This afternoon, it’s synced to a 3rd box. I am interested in taking this to the next step and placing my files on a Linux server in California… with all my private git repositories. I wonder how well git will behave with SyncApp?
I think the most fascinating implication of SyncApp that I can brew in my mind is utilizing it over a Meshnet. Think of tying several Meshnet nodes in Bellingham and giving end users the “secret key” – madness. I wonder if there’s anyone in Bellingham that has already thrown up Meshnet nodes?
The next plan of actions with alpha testing BitTorrent SyncApp will be to tie all of my company files (.psd, .ai, .eps) between 3 computers and potentially a 4th. Perhaps my personal dedicated server down in California? Or maybe I should throw up an experimental Amazon EC2 with block storage? D: OMFG, way to excited.
