Re: Syncthing Usage Data
#2It amazes me that Syncthing handles rapidly-changing files better for me than Dropbox. Where Dropbox has left different versions of files on different computers even after they have changed multiple times, Syncthing happily synchronizes them without issues. And the fact that Syncthing is open source and allows me to keep files on my own machines is a big plus. However, I would love to see a paid option for easy backup of selected files to a machine in the cloud. Some people want their files backed up and accessible through a web service and I wish I could recommend Syncthing to them as well.

#3I would love to use Synchthing but Bit Torrent Sync, now known as Resilio Sync, works behind firewalls so much better. Hope to one day come back to syncthing.

#4And it looks like two of the last really big tipping stones are being addressed:
1) Advanced NAT traversal via UDP, which is is less efficient than TCP, but orders of magnitude better than relying on relays. More about this here: https://kastelo.net/2017/03/08/syncthing-kcp.html
2) Internal filesystem notification watch facility for near realtime sync (currently possible via an external service -> syncthing-inotify). For more see pull request https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/pull/3986
The future looks bright!
Addendum: Have a look at the community forum https://forum.syncthing.net

Syncthing works fine behind and through firewalls. Which year did you last use it?

#6syncthing honestly is one of the best pieces of software i use. It manages a fairly often changing music library, a lossy copy of it, and my phones photos really handily all on a raspberry pi 1. One of my favourite programs i use daily.

#7I have been a happy user of syncthing, it is brilliant Piece of software, I no longer have to run around looking for data cable, I just open my laptop, and it syncs the complete file system!

#8Brilliant piece of software. Perfect to gather data from different devices to backup in the cloud or to sync documents or a massive music collection.
The only thing missing is an encrypted external sync node so I can put it on a VPS somewhere

#9This goes against one of the points of Syncthing (but I'm more interested in its other features): are there any good 3rd-party hosts so I don't have the hassle of maintaining on myself?
Re: Syncthing Usage Data
#10Since no one is complaining: I find Syncthing too complicated to set up. You must create a folder, then get a number for a computer (which you end up writing in a pastepad or something like that because the two computers don't communicate), then go to the other computer and place the number in, then do the same for the second computer to the first.
Repeat it for 5 or 6 machines.
If any machine is switched what do you do? Start over again establishing the link with all other machines.
