Contact Resilio Sync Support

I use Resilio Sync for personal use, keeping a photo library updated and synchronized between my PC and phone. Since I update the library very often, and because it had many nested folders, Resilio was perfect for me. However, the last update has removed the option to sort by recent files. I’ve tried to live with it since then, but it adds far too much inconvenience. If “sort by recent” could be added back, the app would return to be one of my top recommendations to friends, even the premium version.

File works well. Creative outside-the-box solution that works well. Few undocumented caveats: Biggest issue - Resilo Sync appears to keep a local copy of every single file you transfer. This quickly hog up massive amounts of space on your device, critical when working on an iOS device in particular. This is also pretty hidden. No way to see what is going on, ripped off only by viewing settings storage on an iOS device. Resilio Sync is aware and there is a cryptic voodoo way to assist getting back file space. This feature really needs to be front and center. Make it easy to understand and manage. Storage is still so limited for iOS devices. Second - this uses a BitTorrent protocol. I love it because of this feature, yet your isp, VPN or other available services may discourage or outright block such traffic. App will be dead in the water of blocked. Wish list - 1) way to regain storage for files no longer needed. 2) confirmation a file has been fully synced 3) better integration with iOS sharing - still so many taps for each and every share.

Resilio does a great job syncing, and no other apps are really able to automatically selectively sync a set of files without leaving your LAN. But the app is in serious need of some updates. On iPad there is no support for multitasking like split view or slide over, which makes interactions much more cumbersome. And the File provider is very limited, as it cannot be used to view nor download unsynced files; you must leave your app and switch to Resilio first. If Resilio got some love and an update, this would be a much more useful app today!
