What people are saying

It's been working very well for me, I completely replaced Dropbox, and on the VPS/phones [0] as well. The only slow bit I know of is when it's initially syncing too many files…

I built something on top of the Syncthing API this week after using it on its own for years. A local instance of Syncthing can behave as a robust sync tool + inotify API for applications consuming the files: https://docs.syncthing.net/rest/events-get.html#get-rest-eve... i believe there's an embeddable golang library, but if you want something easy to use on android check in on syncthing-fork which lets you define more granular sync conditions including "just turn on 5 minutes every hour" https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android
