I'll preface this by saying I switched from Dropbox to Syncthing a long time ago and I love Syncthing. I also love Nik Tonsky's writing but he's serious misrepresenting the ease of Syncthing in this post. He initially describes it as: You download a single binary executable. You run it. There’s no step three. No, seriously. It’s so simple I thought I missed something. But no. After you run that binary, you have a fully operational node of Syncthing. It’s ready to sync with any other Syncthing node, no other setup necessary. He then goes on to describe the definitely horrendous process of getting Dropbox going with the official client[1]. BUT, then he goes on and explains the complex setup involved with Syncthing, which if it were explained screen by screen, like he did with Dropbox, would look even more tedious and complex. You're not going to switch to Syncthing because it's so much easier. 1. Maestral: For those who use macOS or Linux and want to stick with Dropbox for some reason, give Maestral a try. It's a free, open source app that does what Dropbox originally did: sync a folder. https://maestral.app/ https://maestral.app/
