Syncthing is everything I used to love about computers
I&#x27;ve been using syncthing for several months now, syncing lots of files (code under active development) between a total of five computers, Linux and MacOS.<p>It&#x27;s been fantastic.<p>It works well, it gets the job done, it doesn&#x27;t pester you with notifications and upsells. It also doesn&#x27;t eat all of your CPU&#x2F;battery by watching changes everywhere, like Dropbox does. And it doesn&#x27;t try to get at your photos. And other stuff.<p>I have not run into a single problem with it over the course of several months now, which is impressive.<p>I am about to sign up and start sponsoring it on a monthly basis — I started doing this recently with open-source software that I rely on. If everybody chipped in, we&#x27;d be in a world of great sustainable software, with people able to make a living on developing solutions like this.<p>BTW, a plug for another similarly impressive piece of software: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vpncloud.ddswd.de" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vpncloud.ddswd.de</a> — if you need to set up an encrypted VPN between a bunch of servers.
