Sync folders with windows (laptop or home computer)

BitTorrent sync is a new feature of Quik File Share. It allows users to share or transfer data directly between devices with ease. It never stores your files on servers, but on the devices with which you share your Quik File Share folders. This means your files stay safe all the time from data breaches and prying eyes.

BitTorrent Sync is a free, unlimited, secure file-syncing app. It is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and BSD. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet via secure, distributed P2P technology.

Follow the steps below to start syncing your files and folders between different devices easily, efficiently and securely.

Step 1

Right click the Quik File Share folder that you want to share using BitTorrent option. Select "Share" from the contextual menu and then "BitTorrent Sync" from the further sub-menu.

Step 2

Click the "Start Sharing" button from the Sync Folder window to generate a secret code for the Quik File Share folder that you want to share with other devices.

 

Step 3

Copy the code and save it at a safe place as it would be required when installing BitTorrent Sync app on other devices and sharing this folder with them.

There are two codes generated and each serves different purpose. The Full access secret allows you to modify, delete or write to the folder that you share with other devices. The Read-only secret, on the other hand, allows you to only read the files in the shared folders from other devices but you can’t make any changes to it.

Step 4

Download the BitTorrent Sync app on your device, from where you want to access the Quik File Share folder, by visiting the link: http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/downloads

To download the BitTorrent Sync app for your Windows Desktop, follow the steps below:

Step 1

From http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/downloads, click Windows 1.2.82 for Desktop. This will prompt you to run the BitTorrent executive file. Click Run

Step 2

Select the location where you want to install the BitTorrent Sync app.

Step 3

Click Install to initiate the installation process.

Step 4

The BitTorrent Sync app is successfully installed at your specified location. Double click the app to run the BitTorrent Sync Setup file. Select "I have a secret" radiobutton and enter the secret code for the Quik File Share folder you saved earlier. Accept the terms and policies and click "Next".

 

 Step 5

Choose the location where you want to save the sync folder and click "Next".

Step 6

When you see the screen below, you have successfully added your sync folder. You can either read the next two screens or skip.

Final Step

The sync folder successfully appears on the screen. You can sync as many folders as you want by choosing a "Add a Sync Folder" button.

You can now view all the shared Quik File Share folder files on your desktop.
