I consider "sync" to only be a feature of Dropbox. Its the absolute best way to get files into their cloud storage platform (as compared to something like uploading files manually via a web portal).

But I think the value of Dropbox is in their cloud storage platform itself. It is the platform that is responsible for integration into a bevy of mobile apps, backup, and many other useful tools.

In my opinion, BitTorrent is a feature that doesn't offer the value of a platform. This feature is super awesome for a select use-case (maybe moving my media library across all of my home devices), but its no Dropbox killer. Its not a full platform at its current state.
