Applications such as Evernote and Dropbox leverage the decreasing cost of hard disk storage seen in Storage as a Service (SaaS) providers, e.g., Amazon S3, to provide data storage on the cloud to home users and With greater connectivity and greater availability of access to the Internet the concepts of "high availability", "off-site backup" and "resilient storage" have moved away from the domain solely inhabited by large corporations and has started to become increasingly popular with computer users and everyday data consumers. For mobile users, access to this data has long been an issue. With home user bandwidth rising and the growth in professional and non-professional computer power, the volume of data created by each individual computer user is constantly growing.

This paper outlines the client application, its detected network traffic and identifies artefacts that may be of value as evidence for future digital investigations. The importance of understanding Bit-Torrent Sync and its resulting digital investigative implications for law enforcement and forensic investigators will be paramount to future investigations. The service is completely decentralised, offers much of the same synchronisation functionality of cloud powered services and utilises encryption for data transmission (and optionally for remote storage). BitTorrent Sync is seen as an alternative by many and has gathered over two million users by December 2013 (doubling since the previous month). A number of these services have recently been reported as sharing information with governmental security agencies without warrants. With professional and home Internet users becoming increasingly concerned with data protection and privacy, the privacy afforded by popular cloud file synchronisation services, such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive, is coming under scrutiny in the press.
