It is a critique of some specific issues. I don't see the reply as needless complaining. Okay, so that was how you were raised and how you operate. > I was raised not to needlessly complain about free things, without considering to take things into my own hands. Sometimes, you can recognize that something is bad without knowing the best way to fix it. > Maybe you took my question the wrong way, but (maybe just as much misguided) I took the "opinion"/"discussion" not as opinion, but for the lack of any helpful suggestion as merely a rant. One of those is making conversation, the other is entitlement. There is a massive difference between voicing your opinion about something in a public discussion forum and hounding the developers of a project because they don't fix bugs or implement new features on your say-so. > I consider the endless ranting by entitled FOSS users an obnoxious trend. 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 SPEED 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.
SYNCTHING SPEED PASSWORD
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.
