Yes I’m sure “you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.”

With iCloud, if I drop my phone in the ocean by mistake, I can walk into the Apple Store, buy another phone, log in and my new phone looks and acts like my old phone with all of the bookmarks, icons, app data, settings etc being restored.

- raw_anon_1111 1y agoDoes SyncThing automatically back up everything? Settings, in app data, icon positions, bookmarks, messages, and browsing history? If you through your phone in the ocean and gestured on another one, would your new phone look just like your old one? And it’s been discontinued for Android…. https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002 https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-androi...
