    that is exactly what Syncthing is, my desktop to my server to my laptop to my phone…

  Hard disagree. I’ve had so many issues with Syncthing deleting files and refusing to connect over LAN that I’ve never had with Resilio Sync.

    Weird, I have 100’s of thousands of files synced.

    Been using it for years.

    Linux, windows and Mac in the circuit. Never a problem that wasn’t user error.

      Resilio hasn’t been issue-free for my use case, but it hasn’t been destructive in the same way that Syncthing has. I thought the Syncthing stuff was just me, but I’ve seen similar accounts from some people online.

    Synchthing definitely needs some tweaking until it works the way you want it. I’ve been using it for the psst five years and I’m pretty happy with it today. I have several folders synched between two servers and a handful of devices, including my Android phone. It has completely replaced Dropbox for me.
