Note that the author seems to misunderstand a few things about BitTorrent sync:

1. Firstly, Btsync is not open-source (unfortunately), as he claims. [1]

2. 24-hour secrets don't give someone read access for 24 hours. They must be redeemed within 24 hours after creation, but if they are redeemed on time they become permanent read-only secrets.

Ah my bad – I've corrected the open source claim and I'll reword about the 24 hr secrets. Thanks.

I'm curious why this is being downvoted. Is the information incorrect?
