I've been using #Syncthing for the last year or 2 on my #Windows computer and #Android phone, but I recently moved to #Linux. So naturally, I need to redo everything.
Not that I am necessarily looking for something else, I live Syncthing, just because I am going through the effort. Does someone else recommend something similar?
I currently don't have the setup to create a #Nextcloud instance. Thus, Syncthing was a great solution. I just want to see what else #opensource has to offer.

Y'all convinced me. I am going to stick with #Syncthing. But because I am doing my setup over, I am going to make some changes that I was previously too lazy to do to how my files are structured!
Thanks for the help!
@Stark9837 what are you missing from your setup that would allow #nextcloud? It is not just a great files sync service; it's actually helping me completely #breakupwithgoogle.
My #RaspberryPi is currently already in use, and I don't want to load it too much as it is used for my 3D printing. And then I also don't have the correct storage solution for it.
I have an extra desktop, but I don't have backup power for it now.
So I like the idea of #Syncthing. It is there when I want and need it. I use it more for transfering files than syncing. But syncing is an added benefit. I most want transfers between my personal laptop and personal phone.
@Stark9837 depending on your model of Pi you might be fine. I ran #nextcloud on a 3B+ with several other services (part of my home k3s cluster is on Pis). I wouldn't use it for the AI capabilities, but for all the normal stuff it should be fine.
And the best storage solution for Pis like that is probably USB drives, tbh.
@Stark9837 I don't get it. Syncthing works just fine on Linux... so maybe go right on using it?
I currently use it to sync documents between two Linux PCs and an iPad. Works like a charm.
@Stark9837 I use Syncthing on linux, too. Since you're already using it, why switch to something else? (I always have to look up the apt instructions. If you're on debian: https://apt.syncthing.net/)
@Stark9837
#Syncthing runs far better on my Linux machines than my windows one, fwiw. All the more reason to keep using it
@Stark9837 just have a device as an introducer that is on 24/7
Just have to add new devices there and add folders
@Stark9837 it would be nice if you could backup your config or something along those lines so that you dont have to redo all your folders every time you change OSes/devices
Yeah, it's been 2 weeks later, and I still haven't gotten around to doing it. I literally need to use a USB C cable daily.
