Interesting that the mobile usage seems to be so low from this, I sync my desktop, NAS and phone using Syncthing constantly. I also reject any sort of statistics though, so I'm probably not helping.
Can anyone share their experiences with Syncthing compared to Resilio Sync (aka Bit Torrent Sync)? I am using Resilio Sync since its beta version, but they have added a lot of restrictions since then and made some functions only available for paying users. I am concerned about ease of use (setup and everyday usage) on Windows and Android.
Oh boy can I ever. We used Resilio Sync (aka Bittorrent Sync aka BT Sync) for a while for the Tron project ( https://reddit.com/r/TronScript ). It worked great for our use-case: distributing a large number of files to a large number of nodes who required read-only access. Anytime I changed a file on the master node it would blast out to everyone else while simultaneously preventing any other node in the swarm from pr…
How do you deal with that?

Last year. I am in different Public School networks and SyncThing still got caught. I worked for hours to figure it out and just couldn't :( Did they beef it up since last year?
There are public relays which you can use (automatically unless you disable the feature), so NATing and firewalls shouldn't be an issue.
Don't upset your Network Administrators!
As a heavy user of Syncthing for the Tron project ( https://reddit.com/r/TronScript ) I'm excited to see how well Syncthing is doing, and really appreciate the hard work from the devs. We spun up a Syncthing node to distribute the project after Resilio Sync (formerly "BT Sync") put a hard cap on the number of nodes that were allowed to connect. Keep up the great work, team!
For those with some spare CPU cycles and bandwidth you can give back to the project by running a relay server. https://docs.syncthing.net/users/strelaysrv.html Eg that VM running a DNS adblocker, from another front page article :)
Interesting drop in the numbers when version 0.12 was released. Does anyone know what that was about?
Note that usage reporting is disabled by default, and has to be enabled manually. The Android app alone has around 30.000 active installs according to Google Play statistics. Usage reporting only shows about 2.000 of those. Based on this data, I would estimate that there are between 100.000 and 300.000 active installations of Syncthing.

Is there any way to get additional information about why a phone and a desktop client on the same LAN can't see each other? (or take 10+ minutes to sync?)

Is it possible you look for something like Ceph? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceph_(software)
That seems to be focused on throughput. I'm focused on how much data I can store into the system and if it's redundant so long as N nodes don't die (and if they do I'd like it to attempt to reorganize the network so they system keeps working with N node failure).

Since 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…
So yes, it's a bit painful (and is the price you pay for the level of security you get), but it's not quite as bad as you make out.
