How is the file syncing these days, especially for large files? I know I tried it way back when (OwnCloud 4 I think?) and failures where frequent and conflicts kept popping up in files that hadn't been modified. I finally went with btsync for that purpose, but I'm tempted to give OwnCloud a go again since the Calendar, Contacts, and versioning are compelling features for me.
- Cub3 12y agoSame here, I'm running btsync across multiple machines / servers, would love to give OwnCloud a go but the Android / Windows offerings for the syncing of files was terribly lacking.
- gwillen 12y agoSo far I've been very underwhelmed by btsync; I couldn't seem to get it to actually start syncing between my devices. I've gotten it to sync test data and the like just fine, but as soon as I ask it to sync large folders of real data, it fails to connect, and it doesn't have any real logging or debugging features, nor any 'force' buttons, so there doesn't seem to be anything to be done about it.
- tacoman 12y agoI started with Owncloud 6. I'm syncing about 300MB of files which are mostly text documents, scripts and various collected bits of stuff. It's only about 400 files altogether, but it changes quite a bit and the syncing has been flawless.
