Syncthing
Syncthing Review Syncthing is a decentralized file syncing service that lets you decide how, when and which files are synced, without the dependence of any cloud server. It works with Windows, MacOS, Linux and Android, and provides granular control over how files are synced between devices. This includes a variety of versioning options (number of versions, how long to keep them, etc). It also features an intuitive and customizable user interface, which is accessible via the web browser. It is easy to set up and monitor, allowing you to quickly synchronize any number of folders with other devices. It is also portable, ensuring that your data is always safe and secure no matter where you go. Unlike many other file syncing services, Syncthing is completely free and open source. This means that it does not use any third-party servers, so your data is never in the hands of a company who might sell or misuse it. In addition, it uses end-to-end encryption, which protects against any potential relay attackers. Syncthing is available in most Linux distributions’ repositories, making it easy to install and run on your computer. In case you don’t want to use the command line, there are also plenty of OS integrations for Syncthing that you can download from the community contributions page. They can provide a system tray icon, file browser integration and much more. If you have any issues with these or other integrations, please check the forum for discussion and assistance.
