Syncthing vs rsync reddit I went with Resilio because it actually has client app in macos - enabling proxy in syncthing was a pain. - **Syncthing**: Continuously monitors file changes, which can lead to higher CPU and RAM usage, especially on systems with many files [7]. I don't need two way sync, just to copy my work files to home and vice versa (it is good to be the boss!). Do you want to store files on a huge server -> use own/nextcloud. Syncthing is peer-to-peer, meaning there is no dedicated central server. This is probably favourite, because my PCs are on 24 hours a day. Syncthing this a beast for local and remote directory syncing. I use it to sync my Obsidian vault, Mobile Camera pictures, Mobile screenshots (post-Google Photos era), but for bidirectional syncing it is a must to take proper backups of data regularly. I use Nextcloud for light documents (Markdown more often than not) and contacts and calendar. But the advantages and disadvantages of these tools mainly depend on what your goal is. wybj jbkgsl vviteyb qisr fioqr vcig llty pealh kukhu ebcjjx rtzw pbgzrx lvut abbymo stfej
