Syncthing

I'm looking at Syncthing . It sounds very interesting. Any views from real life?

I'm Linux Mint on desktops and laptop, plus one Windows 11 (for work crap). Android tablet (but don't really need files on it)

#Syncthing #filesync

Boosts appreciated

@daj I'm a happy user as well, I've used it for years. I currently use it between my laptop (Debian) and phone (Android). Maybe in the future, I'll add my homeserver in the mix, to add an "always on" source, and to keep regular backups of those files. This is especially helpful if you have three devices or more, with two or more of those devices sometimes turned off (I noticed that when I was using a phone, a PC=now my homeserver, and a tablet (replaced by laptop now)).

@ruben I've only been running it a few hours and already I am very impressed.

Thank you to everyone who took time to respond. I really appreciate it. The overall consensus was very positive for #Syncthing. I have now installed in on my #RaspberryPi 5 and have sync setup across my devices. Very impressed with it.

Hopefully I have caught everyone who replied, below, just to acknowledge you.
