I repaced Dropbox with it a year ago and I'm satisfied, it's a great project. But atm I couldn't recommend it to even knowledgeable friends, let alone family members:
- Sometimes long-deleted folders pop up when older version clients connect
- Syncing or connecting takes sometimes ages to start for no obvious reason, client not giving enough info on what is happening
- Relation between clients is not obvious, the powerful configuration options are hard to decipher after some time
- The project could start a (freemium?) cloud client option, maybe leveraging other providers for storage. Most people will not be able to set up a server, and without that it's just way less practical for the layman than any mainstream option.
- rkagerer 5y agoSometimes long-deleted folders pop up when older version clients connect What causes that?
- j1elo 5y agoAdd to that: - The handling of ignored files is confusing, to say the least. I happened to comment about it just some day ago, so to not repeat the comment -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28760365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28760365
