There are many reasons I prefer Bittorrent Sync over Syncthing: identity based sharing (rather than node linking), good support for situations where you cannot poke holes in a firewall, selective sync support, and encrypted read-only secrets.
Moreover, it's much easier to set up, I share stuff with family and they didn't have problems setting it up.
- Vendan 11y agoNote that Syncthing just put out relay support, so you don't have to poke holes in firewall if you don't want to, and your data is still secure, as the relay server just relays the encrypted stream. In the (roughly) week since the feature was released, the public relay network has already routed over 2.6 TiB. (I run 2 relay servers on the public pool)
- BuildTheRobots 11y agoRelay support is nice, but I still desperately wish for "caching relay servers". I'd love to be able to spin up a high bandwidth VPS with storage and let it be a node, but for it never to have the ability to actually decrypt the data it's storing.
