I love the idea of Syncthing (p2p, hell yes), but besides wishing for a “streaming”/“on demand” mode (only downloading a file from a node when you need it, basically Syncthing lite but in the official project, eventually evolving into a mixed mode with local and remote files besides each other) it just ... doesn’t work that well for me. Initially it kind of works but doesn’t saturate the network connection, then after a while it just doesn’t do anything anymore. The web interface doesn’t provide much information about what’s happening.
I tried it with multiple different devices and know someone who has the same problem. At the same time I know many people it works flawlessly for. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
- TuringTest 6y agoI've had the same problem with Syncthing between Android mobile and desktop. Either devices don't see each other, or if I manage to sync one folder it synchronizes once and it never does anything again. I've switched to KDE Connect for manually transferring files from the phone (it can't be scheduled on Windows as far as I'm aware, but at least it works every time).
