Syncthing for secure private file syncing directly between your devices

Title stating Syncthing secure/private file syncing between devices. Next to the title is a screenshot of the Syncthing app, showing a folder name with various information such as the Folder ID, folder path, Global state with a file count and space used, a local state, rescan frequency of hourly, file versioning as simple and 30d cleanup, what devices the folder is shared with, and the latest change showing the filename most recently changed.
Whether you want to automatically sync your photos or audio recordings from your phone directly to your desktop PC, or to sync your notes between all your devices, free and open source Syncthing will help you do this securely, privately, and reliably. I’ll show how I’m doing this, and how I’m also keeping older versions of changes my notes so that I can restore them if needed (a bit like a basic backup).

Unlike many backup or sync applications, Syncthing will sync any number of folders directly between your devices, so no server is required. This can be done without even knowing the IP addresses of the devices. It can also sync over the Internet to a friend, if you want to share backup space with each other – you can set your own encryption password for each folder to keep your data private.

Ich mache mit #OsmAnd Foto-Notizen. Diese möchte ich gerne automatisch auf meinen Laptop synchronisieren. Jetzt dachte ich mir ich mache das mit Syncthing. Aber in den Ordner komme ich gar nicht rein von #Syncthing aus. Android/Data wird mir nicht angezeigt. Wie löst ihr das?

SyncThing vs Synology Drive

I'm impressed with SyncThing. It's far more flexible and versatile than the Synology Drive application.
Maybe it's a bit slower, but that's only seconds, not minutes.
Setting up Synology is a bit more intuitive, but once you figured out SyncThing, it's at least as quick to add a new folder / sync, and ST doesn't complain if you want to sync 2 subfolders from a specific folder.
