syncthing-inotify works great! I have been running Syncthing with this plugin for about a month now and I haven't had any problems with it.
I started using Syncthing for some of my projects after Dropbox stopped syncing files without notice for the third time. The failed Dropbox syncs were related to either C++ or Doconce+LaTeX projects where many temporary build files were being modified often. Syncthing doesn't seem to have a problem with these files, and it is even possible to configure Syncthing to ignore specific file patterns if you just don't want it to sync such files at all.
- radarsat1 10y agoAre building software in your dropbox folder? I mean, it should work, I guess.. but why on earth..
- wernercd 10y agoYeah... is there a "gitignore" option for dropbox or alternatives (like Syncthing)? I mean... there's a certain point where you are now syncronizing "crap" that shouldn't be needed (bin/obj/etc)...
- Nutomic 10y agoSyncthing has the .stignore file: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html https://docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html
- dragly 10y agoIt isn't optimal, but it used to work. I kept C++ projects on Dropbox in addition to Git because I work on multiple computers and want to be able to continue where I left off if I get interrupted. I don't like the idea of having to commit and push to git for all work in progress, even if it is on a separate branch. The default setup in Qt Creator is to have a build folder next to the sources, but after the first big sync failure I configured Qt Creator to always build outside of Dropbox. But I experienced failed syncs after that, even with only C++ sources inside Dropbox and when building Doconce+LaTeX projects.
