It's been a very useful tool for me as a music collector. Download an album, import it into my library, two minutes later its on my phone without me having to do a single thing. Gone are the days of cables and authoritarian music managers, it's Beets and Syncthing all the way.

I've been using sync thing for years, and I love it. I use it for lots of things that I wouldn't necessarily want syncing to an off-site server.

I used to have a sync thing set up, where 1 machine would only receive, while the others would send. It's slightly a pain to configure, but works like a Back up and not a sync. It was convenient to have. Syncthing is really cool, and a big misconception is that people do not understand what Sync and Backups are. Sync thing is great at what it does.

The algorithm decided to serve me your channel and i've been enjoying your content. Thank you for this video! I've been looking for something like this for a while now as a better way to keep my Obsidian vault synced between my main windows workstation and my (new-to-me thinkpad t420) laptop that I use for journaling/browsing. I'd been using github but this is MUCH cleaner and virtually realtime without me having to do anything extra. Just create/edit the file and it's just there! You're continuing to be a great resource for me along my Arch/Linux educational journey. Keep up the great work!

It's pretty nice. Been using it for years. Remember to read up on file versioning in the Syncthing docs if you are editing files on multiple devices and want to make sure you don't loose any data in case of update conflicts, it's got some pretty nice options for how to handle it.

Love Syncthing. it works so well, never had an issue, even with nearly 1Tb of sync folders. Syncthing + a NAS is all I need!!

[chaitanyabhole]

I've been using this for quite some time and loving it. You can sync file across devices over web or WLAN using syncthing with lot of options beside traditional "syncing" such as file versioning.

Use it for years also - maybe a decade ?
Allows me - amongst others things - to have exact same session at work, on laptop(s) and at home.
Use it also to centralize / synchronise all needed datas from devices ( laptops, desktops on Linux and Win + others on android ) onto one server at work,
and do regular incremental backups of this ( part of ) the server, onto elsewhere.

SyncThing is THE must have. Rock solid in my experience.

Syncthing is simply amazing, when it comes to android it is one of the few programs that I've used that can saturate the wifi when syncing to local LAN. Other programs that I've used are always running in the low 20-25 megabytes such as an ssh server using scp or an sftp/ftp server running on the phone under userspace, non rooted devices.

Super cool! I'd love to see more videos about your Linux Ecosystem! For example what you use for editing the (org-)files on your phone. Keep up the good work! Thank you!

For a non programmer, Syncthing is a life saver. It's always one of the first softwares I install on my new PC/phone.

Sync conflicts do happen though, so it's not perfect.

Syncthing is fabulous, and ond of the great open source solutions we have that needs more visibility: free, eficient, privacy respectful...
I am all for tolerating comercial apps on Linux, but software like syncthing is what linux is about.

[sascha]

I used syncthing for about a year, it's really great. I had some issues where sync states would get corrupted and I had to manually tell it how to resolve the issues. Which I didn't realize for quite some time because I had it running for so long in the background without checking the web ui

I've been doing the same thing for years with Resilio Sync. It's a great alternative to cloud syncing.

[Dave-PL]

Looks great! gonna try it! Greetings from Poland 🤟

[dnomyar]

I have been looking everywhere for something like this!!!

[YannMetalhead]

I'm being using Syncthing for a few months and I love it!

[Being_Joe]

Have it running on my Synology NAS and it just works. What is cool is how it just works even when you are not on your network.

[jermesastudio]

Thank you for this video. It has been very helpful for my commercial projects.

[donaldwilliams]

Thank you for this. Recently a NixOS project I work with added it to its config but I never tried it out. Was thinking about it and I saw this pop up! It works really well
