Very interesting. I've been looking for something like Syncthing for a while now, without luck. I ran into TLS/https issues (can't remember what exactly) while configuring OwnCloud/NextCkound, and realized it had some security flaws I wasn't ready to live with. I decided to stick with Google Drive. I'll give a try to Syncthing this summer. Thanks!

I use Nextcloud since a few years and I am very happy with it (especially with the desktop integrations, e.g. KDE/Dolphin). I even use the Nextcloud WebDav server as a backend to store and sync data for my own Progressive Web App :D

The only security flaw I see is that it is written in PHP, which makes it harder for the devs to write secure code, but not impossible.

Syncthing is great once you get it set up correctly. On my first attempt it accidentally wept my $HOME[1], but on my second attempt it was really easy. Now I have it on all my devices and I don't want to live without it.

[1]: Still not sure if some sequence of commands looked like I intended to delete stuff, or if it was a bug that has since been fixed.

I had problems with SyncThing's reliability, and although it is proprietary am using Resilio Sync (was BitTorent Sync). Hope SyncThing is much better now and I can switch back next time I set it all up!

Still nice to control my syncing and files with Resilio.
