- Haemm0r 5y agoYou can even sync to $nasty_cloud_provider and don't provide the syncthing password. Problem solved!
- pmlnr 5y agoWhat? Syncthing is not a backup program, it, as the name suggests, syncs folders and files. There is no password involved.

- ronyclau 5y agoSyncthing now supports untrusted device sync[0] (i.e. storing an encrypted copy on an untrusted device) in a recent version, though this is still on beta. [0]: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/untrusted.html https://docs.syncthing.net/users/untrusted.html
- polack 5y agoLooks like Syncthing doesn’t have support/client for iOS though?
- fouc 5y agoThere may be 3rd party apps like https://www.mobiussync.com https://www.mobiussync.com
- benhurmarcel 5y agoFor some reason it’s not available in France. Is it limited to the US?
- seanp2k2 5y agoAnd because no one except Apple have access to the private iOS APIs required to run background processes forever, you would have to remember to keep the app in the foreground while it completes syncing on a regular basis. Also, you can restore an iPhone from what SyncThing can back up. Only an iTunes or equivalent iCloud device backup can. They also can’t back up things like MFA keys / seeds / IVs. I’m glad ST exists and it’s useful for syncing photos for home use, but it is not a viable iCloud alternative, nor could one be made due to the private iOS API issue.
