The first requirement is the one that kills SyncThing for me and why Syncany is more appealing.
To sum up my reasons very quickly:
- I want to store my data offsite, where it isn't vulnerable to breakins, fire, water damage etc.
- I have no offsite storage I can trust completely.
- Syncthing only supports storing plaintext on disk.
Therefore I can't use syncthing to securely and remotely store data.
This is where Syncany wins. You don't have to trust the storage endpoint.
Also, Syncthing requires having a CPU attached to your remote storage, meaning your remote options are limited to a VPS or dedicated server. This is significantly more expensive than buying block storage from Google or Amazon.
If Syncthing ever resolves https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/109 https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/109 I'll be open to using it, until then it's out.
