Syncthing documentation is not perfect but it does not insult me with marketing garbage. (in Hitchhiker’s Guide, these kind of people were all put in a ‘special’ spaceship When I read this kind of garbage, I want to smack the person who wrote it, In Syncthing of course this is not possible.įor me, I separate syncing from cloud backup,Īnd so use my cloud backup service for that giving people a link to files.ĩ…ĝropbox documentation uses phrases like: This is important for me, but not for everybody.Ħ… Syncthing does not sync to the cloud, Dropbox must.įor me, I prefer this, but some people would prefer the cloud backup.ħ…ĝropbox requires 2 apps to sync on Android: Dropbox + (paid) DropsyncPro.Ĩ…ĝropbox allows you to share files with someone by just giving them a link, With Dropbox I have to manually download/unpack/installĪnd (as I want to control the update schedule) manually update.ĥ… Syncthing has transparency - I can see what is happening. Syncthing installs / updates from the repos - very convenient. So Syncthing can fit in with my file system so the things I sync are better organized. Other items I share with mobile Android devices.ĭropbox shares everything with every device on your Dropbox account.ģ… Syncthing can sync multiple folders instead of just one Dropbox folder. So there are some items I share only with other computers, Which you cannot do with Dropbox because getting these to the cloud would take too long.Ģ… Syncthing can sync different folders with different devices. So it becomes practical with Syncthing to sync much larger files (1Gb, 2Gb) My experience on the key differences between Syncthing and Dropbox,ġ… Syncthing is much faster on local Lan transfers.ĭropbox does allow for local lan transfers (port 17500) but as the data also has to go to the cloud servers anyway, this is a limiting factor.
Have now been using Syncthing for 2 weeks,
