I highly recommend NextCloud. It's trivial to set up with Digital Ocean, and I've been using it for a couple of years now without a hiccup. I use it as a file server, calendar, and a media streaming solution.
- indigodaddy 6y agoBut then you’re back to client/server model no? I like the idea of syncthing and the p2p/node aspect.
- yogthos 6y agoyeah that's a trade off, but having your own server has some advantages as well since it's always available. Also provides an easy way to share stuff with friends. Syncthing is definitely nice if you just need p2p sync between devices though.
- rdschouw 6y agoAlso love you can encrypt your files at rest. Something which Dropbox does not offer.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoSyncthing vs NextCloud. I guess that nextcloud does alot more than syncthing, but I'm curious about the differences in implementing the file sync.
- teejmya 6y agoAs a user of both, they're quite different. Syncthing is written in Go and does one thing well -- syncing folders. If you need more than that, like a web portal full of your files, sharing via web links, etc.... Try nextcloud.
