Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 45 other file storage and sync services we grade
Resilio sells file synchronization software, mostly to companies that move large files between sites, servers and edge devices. Its site also lists a Sync Home edition for individual users, offered as a free download. Resilio is now part of Nasuni, and enterprise pricing is given only on request.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Resilio Sync, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The Sync Home price and limits weren't readable, and the download page names only Windows and Linux.
- 1
Best for syncing folders between your own devices
Resilio Sync syncs files device to device, but pricing isn't published and the site points enterprise buyers at a request form.
- 2
It runs on 2 platforms
Windows and Linux.
- 3
Server and edge file sync
The enterprise product is organized around Server Sync and Edge File Sync, which keep files current across offices, sites and partners.
- 4
Management console
Resilio publishes API documentation and an option for AI assistants to work with its Management Console through the Model Context Protocol.
- 5
Sync Home for individuals
The site links a home edition under Home Users, with a free download and forums for user questions.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 0 of 45
That is against the other file storage and sync services we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace Resilio Sync you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for syncing folders between your own devices
Resilio Sync syncs files device to device, but pricing isn't published and the site points enterprise buyers at a request form. The Sync Home price and limits weren't readable, and the download page names only Windows and Linux.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so it sits in the middle by default. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no free trial on record, so nothing to try before paying. |
| Features | C | Device-to-device sync with an enterprise edition, with gaps the listing shows: no stated Home price or limits. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and folders and peers to set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Only Windows and Linux builds are named on the download page, with no integrations listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Resilio Sync is for
- Fits if you want to sync folders directly between your own computers
- Works for IT staff on Windows or Linux who can ask for a quote

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Resilio Sync you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 45 other file storage and sync services grade higher.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- A real app for Windows and Linux. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Resilio Sync’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
