A year ago, I replaced Dropbox with Syncthing [1] for all my private use.
It syncs directly between your devices without need for a central server (except for device discovery).
I use it without an always-on instance (NAS, cloud server), so it only syncs when my Laptop and Phone are on at the same time. This is enough for me. It just works (TM).

- youbookface 6y ago> The Syncthing Foundation stands against racism! Read about what we're doing. Ugh, is anyone tired of every website's insistent virtue signaling?
- Zelphyr 6y agoYes, but I feel like in the end it'll do more good than harm.
- youbookface 6y agoI'm sure all the racists that read that will change their views. No, it's really just obnoxious, imagine meeting a person for the first time and they say "Hi, my name is youbookface, and I'll have you know that I'm not a racist and here's a list of all the organization I've donated to!"
- F00Fbug 6y agoI did the same thing. I use Syncthing for a bunch of thing and it really works well. I'm in the process of rebuilding my offsite backup machine with it. I make a local backup of all my digital pictures and will soon use Syncthing to move a copy of that backup to a relative's house in another state. Even if my house burns down I'll have all my media. The offsite box is a 10 year old desktop running Debian with a 12Tb drive in it. Backup server is set to "send only" and offsite copy is set to "receive only" so it's a one-way pipe.
