3.3. Tools
If several devices are used daily in order to manage information and we need to access this information at any moment and from anywhere, we will probably need applications that help us synchronize files. Some of the most popular ones are listed below.
| Name | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Resilio |  |
This synchronization application is not based on cloud storage, but on P2P (peer-to-peer) technology. For this reason, the application will have to be installed in all devices to be synchronized. It offers free and paid options and is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
