SyncTrayzor

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/. After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup"). I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac) For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Ah, something extremely similar affects SyncTrayzor on Windows too! https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor/issues/760

Thanks for the suggestion. This is an app for Windows [0] but everything I use is Linux, so the setup to start SyncThing it at boot should be straightforward. I am more worried about the Android part. The best solution would be to start SyncThing when on my LAN via matching SSID, and disable it when I am out of range.

For Windows users, SyncThing is normally a local browser app; SyncTrayZor wraps Syncthing into a more familiar SysTray app. (Made finally ditching Dropbox a lot less daunting so I sing its praises on here when I can.) https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor

Not as simple as just using Dropbox, but it's probably simpler than you think. Was using LastPass and configuring Syncthing (on Windows) seemed daunting until someone here on HN mentioned SyncTrayzor. Syncthing runs as a Windows Service and you access it through a local webapp; SyncTrayzor wraps it into a much friendlier tray/desktop accessible app. https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor

For those on Windows, I recommend the SyncTrayzor Syncthing wrapper. Made the thought of getting Syncthing initially configured a lot less daunting and made getting off Dropbox much easier. https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor

One of the common complaints about Syncthing is the lack of native UI (you use your web browser), and the difficulty in setting it up for non-technical users (copying an executable into a directory, running it directly, setting it to automatically start on login aren't something you'd ask your parents / grandparents to do). The homepage recommends Syncnthing-GTK (https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-gtk) (Cross-Platform) and SyncTrayzor (https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor) (Windows only) to help with these pain points. The provide installers, more native-feeling UIs, tray icons, etc. There are also a large number of other Community Contributions (https://docs.syncthing.net/users/contrib.html).

There are a number of projects which make life easier for Windows users (tray icon, autostart, make it look and feel and bit more like a Windows application, bundle filesystem notifications, etc). Two of the big ones are SyncTrayzor (https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor) and Syncthing-GTK (https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-gtk). See the Community Contributions page (https://docs.syncthing.net/users/contrib.html) for the full list.

Anyone like this comment but don't like|want|willing to deal with command line in windows, I recommand SyncTrayzor[0]. From My understanding, SyncTrayzor is the GUI version for SyncThing with MIT license[1].

I sync my "$HOME/Sync" folder to pretty much every device I have. Android phone/tablet, Windows Laptop, FreeBSD Desktop, Linux VPS.... syncthing[0]/SyncTrazor[1] [0] https://syncthing.net/ [1] https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor#installation

I am happy user of Syncthing[1] myself. I currently sync 1.5 TB of data with it. And on windows the SyncTrayzor[2] is excellent. I also use android client[3] as a one-way backup of my whole SD card from phone to my other computers. 1: https://syncthing.net/ 2: https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor 3: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nutomic.sy...
