Syncthing graduation day
I can certainly see the need for something like this, though I've seen a lot more folks on another forum talking about ownCloud and Nextcloud as alternatives to Dropbox business plans.I really dislike that the Syncthing website appears to have mastered modern "we won't tell you what it is" marketing speak.

What's it do? Is it a replacement for Chrome's cross-system syncing? Firefox Sync (which I think can already be self-hosted actually)? Password managers? Maybe hosted Exchange? Wait, it's not?Oh, wait, it's a multi-system file syncing package. Well why didn't you say so while you were telling me I deserved to have control and blah blah blah. Cripes, it even says "a large number of features have already been implemented" then provides a list that implies that running on Windows, OSX, Linux, the BSDs and Solaris is one of those features.There are several places where what it does is implied, but to actually get to a statement of "For this guide let’s assume you have two machines between which you want to synchronise files." I have to go to the bottom of the site, click Docs, then either click on Introduction and Getting Started (in the documentation structure) or click on the "getting started guide" link within the first paragraph of the Introduction.grmbl get off my lawnEdit: I should note, I'm not talking about the 1.0 announcement on their forums - that's for folks already actively involved with it. I'm talking about the very spare https://syncthing.net
