This paper gives the design and implementation of pSync, a P2P file syncing tool for challenged networks. pSync implements a number of advanced features over existing file syncing tools, such as - role based file transfer, device priority scheduling and UDP based networking; to handle intermittent and frequent connection break-ups as well as short contact durations among the devices. Testing of pSync over heterogeneous networking environments shows that it significantly improves file syncing performance compared to the state-of-the-art syncing tool, BitTorrent Sync.
