  Syncthing or Resilio Sync for photo/file backup from phone. Both work amazingly well.

    Sun thing for me was absolutely terrible. If I recall correctly, huge pain in the ass because I vlan off my wifi and had to mess with policies for discovery. I found the app would often freeze and lock up, glitch, etc. And this was on two different phones.

  Is that the proprietary FolderSync or is there a FOSS solution for syncing folders ?

  I used FolderSync with OneDrive (in the past) a’d it worked ok, not shitting on it, I’m just looking for a FOSS equivalent with Nextcloud

    You could use Syncthing for local folder syncing between devices. It’s been really reliable for me.

      Thanks but the goal is to sync with the “cloud”, for backup in case of fire or something.

      I have hundreds (thousand ?) of albums I need to backup. I can reencode them cause 98% are on CD, but if I loose both my computers and my CDs, I’m done :/

      I only use cloud backup for music and the few photos I take with my phone so I don’t really need real-time syncing.

        Would a safety deposit box at a bank be an appropriate option for your off-site backups?

        I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2
