# ByteSync
**ByteSync** is an open-source, on-demand file synchronization software designed for fast, secure, and efficient remote sync & backup. With end-to-end encryption, your data stays private and protected. By transferring only the differences between files and leveraging optimized batching, compression, and delta transfers, ByteSync minimizes resource usage while maximizing speed. Supporting up to 5 remote locations per session, it offers a smart, self-orchestrated alternative to traditional FTP/SFTP and sync solutions.
