I tried Syncthing and it worked really well and it was fast. But I definitely want to have a webui, like Nextcloud, that's why this is sadly not an alternative for me.
(Though I use syncthing now for other stuff, where I don't need web access)
- jw_cook 3y agoIf your main use case for a web UI is browsing photos, have you considered a self-hosted photo gallery like PhotoPrism, Immich, or Lychee? I'm in a similar boat, where I use NextCloud but really wish there was a better option (especially for mobile photo sync). Syncthing + Photoprism is currently at the top of my list of possible viable alternatives.
- SushiHippie 3y agoPhotoPrism could have been an alternative, but the FOSS variant does only have admin accounts, and does not allow to have "normal" users. I also tried Immich, but it just didn't work well. I think I didn't try out lychee, but I took a look at the demo site, and it seemed a bit to minimal for me. Though I'll definitely keep an eye at these galleries, as I don't think Nextcloud will improve their UX in this regard. Syncthing seems to be by far the best solution for synchronising files, I just wish there a gallery that would suit my needs. If I was proficient in frontend development I'd already have created one.
