Abstract
Due to an increasing number of devices connected to the Internet, data synchronization becomes more important. Centrally managed storage services, such as Dropbox, are popular for synchronizing data between several devices. P2P-based approaches that run fully decentralized, such as BitTorrent-Sync, are starting to emerge. This paper presents Box2Box, a new P2P file synchronization application which supports novel features not present in BitTorrent-Sync. Box2Box is demonstrated in several use cases each targeted at another feature.
