I love tools like this, but one of the reasons I use Dropbox is that storage and transfer costs are a constant. I also don't have to worry about maintaining a publicly-accessible server in my home. Are there any cloud services that syncthing can connect to that are comparable in cost to that of Dropbox?
- catherd 6y agoIt's quite easy to let a VPS act as a central hub as long as your use case exactly matches "I want everyone to have full read-write access to everything and they understand things like being careful about simultaneous editing and not moving the shared folder wherever they please." I found trying to manage anything like restricted access to be impossible from a practical standpoint. Debugging what's going on when it doesn't want to sync is not fun. The logs are full of info that seems irrelevant and just finding the config file on Windows is a new adventure on each machine. Not sure why they can't at least show the path in the web UI somewhere. I would have gone with Dropbox, but it's blocked in the country most of us work in. Syncthing mostly gets the job done, but I'd probably pay for Dropbox if I could eliminate the frequent inexplicable 15-30 minute delays from Syncthing. In it's defense, though, the network quality it has to work with is pretty terrible.
