| With the risk of getting down-voted for being too off-topic, here is my setup and observations: - the three host range from pretty fast (Coffeelake @ 5 GHz, 32 GiB, Samsung 950 Pro) to just ok fast (some i5 @ 3 GHz, 8 GiB, files from a fast NAS on 10 Gibps) - I two syncthing folders, with a 90/10 split. Some 155k directories between them. The smaller one is scanned every 6 seconds, the other every hour. - I have disabled relaying etc. so traffic is only p2p and LAN-only, static IPs. Observations: Scanning is slow, which is expected. However, even when the scanning is done and Out of Date files are found, nothing happens. Zero bytes are transfered. The syncthing process is running, but at a fairly low rate. Sometimes pausing and resuming seems to start things going, but not always. Even when data is traveling, it's pretty slow, at most 70 MB/s, and usually way under this rate. Another frustration with Syncthing is that there are entirely too many knobs to frob. I like how setting up Dropbox is stupidly simple and to set up a new host is 1) install Dropbox and 2) add my userid/password, done. As I have honestly looked for a Dropbox alternative for what must be a decade (primarily because Dropbox, Inc. can read my files) it's truly astonishing to me that nothing else works as well. Of course I have considered writing my own clone, but there are other projects to work on and I don't discount how difficult the problem really is. EDIT: rewording EDIT2: FWIW, another "solution" I'm evaluating is to endorse Dropbox but run gocryptfs on top for sensitive files. |
I guess you could ask on the forums, https://forum.syncthing.net about your issues and see what they say.
