The ByteSync Open Beta officially launched on April 25, 2022, along with the www.bytesyncapp.com website.

This page contains all the information about the ByteSync Open Beta. It will be updated regularly to keep track of the progress of the Open Beta. If you are participating in the Open Beta, we recommend that you check this page regularly.

ByteSync Open Beta Goals

Open Beta participants will have the opportunity to discover and use, for free and in preview, ByteSync, our data backup and synchronization software. They will be able to participate in the finalization of the software development through their use and feedback. And they will benefit from incentives offered to all participants.

On our side, we will have the pleasure to meet our first audience. We will be able to study how the solution works in production, with users from all over the world.
Thanks to the feedback from beta users, we will be able to identify and fix some bugs and issues that were not detected until now. We will also be able to set up support ticket processing and improve documentation. With the evolution requests we will receive, we will be able to orient future developments according to the concrete needs of our first users.

Below is a roadmap of the ByteSync Open Beta. We will update it to indicate completed steps and will evolve it according to the feedback and improvement requests that will be made by the participants.
