Syncthing

December 14, 2025 — Nazim

I am thoroughly amazed by Syncthing. Before that, I had used other options to synchronize files across my desktop machines, but Syncthing beats them all in terms of configuration simplicity and ease of use.


My case is a multiple folders synchronization between different computers with no central repository or manual commits. Syncthing handles that perfectly. The project is cross-platform and completely open source with an exhaustive documentation set that covers everything from architecture to API endpoints. You can even configure your own private discovery servers. I am not pointing fingers, but it includes a configuration web UI that is started by default, all completely free. I absolutely love it.
