About:
Syncthing is an open-source, continuous file synchronization program that securely synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time. It uses a secure, decentralized protocol to ensure your data remains private and under your control, avoiding cloud services. The tool is cross-platform, lightweight, and designed to be easy to set up while providing robust conflict handling.
Key Features:
  • Real-time, continuous file synchronization
  • Decentralized and secure by default (TLS encryption)
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD)
  • Web-based GUI for easy management
  • Versioning and conflict detection
Use Cases:
  • Synchronizing work documents across personal and office computers
  • Creating a private, self-hosted cloud storage alternative
  • Backup and data replication between trusted devices
Alternatives:
  • Resilio Sync – Proprietary alternative using BitTorrent protocol; often faster for large datasets but requires licensing for full features.
  • Dropbox – Cloud-hosted service that is simpler for non-technical users but requires trusting a third-party provider with data.
