If you want to keep your filesystem in sync across many devices Syncthing fully enables this.
It is a use case where you would expect a payed service would be easier or more reliable but with Syncthing it is the exact opposite. Just install it on your devices and select the folders you want to keep in sync ... done.
I had never had any problems with it something I cannot say about Dropbox which can be terribly slow, hogs my PC and resulted in lost files on some occasion.
- Rygian 4y agoMy filesystem consists of [checks du -h . | tail -1] 189 GB. I don't think Syncthing (which I love) can cram 189 GB on my 64 GB phone. Yet I expect to have access to my filesystem from my phone. Synthing is a nice "pump-hose system" between reservoirs of data. What I was arguing above is to stop having separate reservoirs of data to begin with.
- jcelerier 4y agoI use seafile (similar to syncthing) and it allows to browse your data libraries without requiring a local copy for these cases
- Rygian 4y agoThe issue is not so much "can I browse a virtual file system" but more "why should I depend on one local file system sitting on a remote server, probably owned by a third party, as being the single source of truth for my own files."
- jcelerier 4y ago? With seafile the data is only on computers I physically own
