The company has been experiencing momentum in recent weeks. Last week the company released BitTorrent Sync 1.3 for their Android and iOS, as well as a new mobile platform for Windows Phone.

The app is designed as an alternative to the cloud for big files. Users don’t have to worry about compressing files before uploading them. The transfers are encrypted and data and personal information are protected by private keys which are not stored on a server in the cloud. The app is free and is available in 10 languages including: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Portuguese.
