Versie 2.1.4 van BitTorrent Sync uitgekomen. BitTorrent Sync is een closedsource peer-to-peer file synchronization tool met clients voor Windows, OS X, Linux, BSD, Android, iOS, Windows Phone en diverse nas-apparaten. Het maakt het mogelijk om in eigen beheer bestanden te synchroniseren tussen diverse apparaten, maar slaat in tegenstelling tot diensten als Dropbox, Google Drive en OneDrive niets op cloudsystemen op.
De verschillen tussen de gratis en de betaalde versie zijn vanaf versie 2.0 groter geworden. Zo kunnen met de gratis versie nog maar maximaal tien mappen worden gesynchroniseerd en kunnen geen rechten worden ingesteld. De belangrijkste verbetering in versie 2.1 is de nieuwe versie van de api, die ontwikkelaars in staat stelt hun eigen applicaties te bouwen. De changelog sinds versie 2.1.0 ziet er als volgt uit:
