Syncthing is a nice alternative to Dropbox. If you use multiple computers at different locations, you could, say, use Syncthing to sync your KeepassXC database between your home computer and your phone, and between your phone and your work computer, without it ever touching a third party service.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 6y agoIt has worked for me perfectly for quite a long time. All my personal documents and photos are synced between an Android phone, my RPi 4 and my laptop. I haven't touched the settings for years. It just always works, 100% perfectly. I don't understand why it isn't more popular.
- spanhandler 6y ago"First, you'll want to set up a server" and you're already down to well under 1% of the population that'll be interested in reading any further, let alone following through and actually doing it.
- boring_twenties 6y agoI doubt the OP intended to ask why it wasn't popular among the general population. That seems obvious. I would interpret his question as asking why it's not more popular even among the subset of people who are happy to run their own servers, like readers of this very board.
- CarbyAu 6y ago:-) And now I have another "for the family" project. Thanks, I think...
- qmmmur 6y agoI managed to get syncthing running well in my rpi4 but the sync was just abysmally slow. I'm on gigabit internet however the time delay between syncing and then syncing itself was slow. I think it is more to do with a delay in handshake or device discovery than the transmission of data itself. Any tips for making the discovery better/faster?
