Syncthing is a great piece of software. I configured it on three of my machines in March and I've had zero issues since. In fact, it has worked so well that I don't even think about it.

One of the machines even runs an old version found in Debian stable repos, but there has been no issues syncing with machines running newer versions.

Only downside for me is that there's no iOS client.




There's a (closed source?) iOS client: fsync


Is Syncthing here to stay or will it morph into a nextcloud or a btsync or that ubuntu thing or be abandonner in 6 months ?


My impression is it's here to stay. I think I've been using it for about 2 years now. The protocol is completely open as well.


Cool, are there third-party apps beside the official ones ? That would be a strong indicator.
