  Synced many terabytes, over WiFi, Ethernet and the Internet with Syncthing. It works for all use cases, large and small.

    When we are talking terabytes of data there are faster ways for the initial sync job.

    I would just use rsync/sftp/robocopy or similar for that first copy for faster transfers, then setup Syncthing on those shares for delta syncs.

      Are you sure those are faster? The only obvious slowdown in Syncthing compared to them is the initial file scan. The file transfer saturates the pipes like any other option. If you meant the file scan overview, then we’re on the same page. ☺️

        Yep, with ST I can trust the files will get there. For large folders I just occasionally check on them.
