We currently have a macOS app available and are targeting January for a Windows launch and a Linux launch soon after. We also have an iOS and Android app with a few beta users, and will release it around Jan/Feb'22.
Slik’s desktop apps have the ability to automatically detect changes in your local connected folder and sync those changes.
About On-demand syncing - we built Slik in a way that, once backed up, no files are required on your local machine. This doesn't prevent you from searching through all your files, and you can selectively download files based on your need.
However, I have added an item on our roadmap that would selectively download folders for offline syncing and faster access. Thanks again!
- mNovak 5y agoThe other half of what I'd consider "smart sync" is delta sync -- basically only uploading the bit of a file (or other reasonable small chunk) which has changed. Dropbox does this well, and is very useful if you're only making a small change to a GB file. Last I checked, this has not yet been handled well with encryption. Even worse if you try to do a naïve e2ee cloudstore by e.g. putting an encrypted volume on dropbox.
