One warning: Sycnthing really does not like it when you delete the dotfile folder inside the shared folder(s). Had to switch to Nextcloud, which so far has been working OK, but the number of people that have problems with the iOS client is quite high (problems such as syncs being so slow it takes days to sync a camera roll), and it's generally sluggish and doesn't work in the background (yes, I know, Apple's fault.) However, Nextcloud does allow me to sync contacts and calendars (I think. The biggest bummer is that there's no iOS client. Don't want your syncthing clients to try and do NAT transversal / discovery outside whatever network it's on? No problem. Don't want the sync client to run on any network other than your home network? Done.
#SYNCTHING BACKBLAZE ANDROID#
Lots of controls, especially in the forked android client. Worked flawlessly for all of them.ĭitto for a folder shared between my MacOS laptop and Windows desktop. I also used it to sync my password database, and a cross-platform notebook app's database. I'd take a photo with my phone and almost before I could open the shortcut on the desktop, boom, the photo was there, since the android client detects changes in the filesystem. I preferred setting the ignore file to exclude android's thumbnails directory, but otherwise it worked great. I used to use it on Android to keep my 'camera roll' synced to my desktop. You can easily have half a dozen shared folders between several computers with any mix-and-match combination including which one is 'authoritative' and so on. The separation between folders and devices is handled well. Syncthing works brilliantly! The web UI is excellent, warns you when you're about to do something ill-advised, and stuff like QR codes makes adding clients and folders fairly easy.
