I'm two years late but your video is absolute excellence. Thank you.

[SivaBodagala]

Excellent tutorial. I came to the right place finally. Thank you very much.😀

[lakshent]

This is one of the clearest tech videos I have ever watched. Very well thought-out and presented. Thank you so much!

Congratulations on this excellent tutorial! Although lengthy, it is clear and concise as you talk about several operating systems.
It is an excellent aggregation of several other YT videos I watched, most of these are outdated and somehow controversial regarding setup.
After a NAT port forwarding (22000TCP/UDP) it works even through 4G on my mobile phone. I used this primary as a test to see how the sw behaves on a different network.

Thanks a lot for this full and comprehensive tutorial! I just got into Syncthing and watching this video was super helpful!
I hope you have a nice day, good sir :)

[Lavah]

Thanks! This video is still very clear to follow

[esunmanta]

Many thanks. This is not just a series of steps to follow. I really understand what I'm doing and I learn a lot. Congratulations.

[craigbrooksby]

Thank you for such a clear and complete explanation

Great stuff, thank you very much for sharing!

Very useful, I may deploy this in my home network and my travel laptop. Looks just as good as Google drive but without the data sniffing and spying.

[DJDashzn]

Once again another brilliant video 👍👍👍👍

[LuisLorente]

Congratulations, very didactic video. The only thing I miss from Syncthing is the ability to access (or share) files from non-synchronised devices via web. Do you think it would be possible?

[trevorgardner]

Why is it so freaking hard to find a tutorial on sharing directly between two Android devices??!
