It requires installing proprietary software on all devices though, while your browser already brings along an open source and mostly standardized P2P stack.

- juskrey 7y agoThere are open source alternatives like syncthing, which is still not as user friendly. Also single file sharing seems interesting, but this is not what you usually do on daily basis... You just want to drop some file to shared folder most of the time, or to have a ton of different files synced automatically.
- big_chungus 7y agoI've tried syncthing as well as btsync (now called resilio); it's not just less user-friendly. It tends to be _much_ slower and eat tons of CPU due to a different algorithm. Resilio has a free tier that works fine for me, and I don't have an inherent issue with a proprietary program that works well. It's a very convenient solution, I haven't had issues, and highly recommend it.
