5 ★ Fantastic, very helpful at keeping control of your own files. Take advantage of all that extra disc space you have on various computers to make your own backups and share files with your family. There are many YouTube videos to help you get it set up and working. Lots of choices for managing battery life and privacy.
5 ★ This app really is the swiss army knife of syncing files. It's a little complicated to setup but once it's setup it works great. I use this to keep a copy of all my photos and videos backed up to my Qnap NAS. Works like a champ.
5 ★ This is a great, free and open source software for synchronizing files. It's great for backups, as well as making notes, password manager databases, photos etc. available on multiple mobile devices and computers.
5 ★ This app is really great. Very fast file sync between devices. It's free, secure and decentralized. I just love it. Lots of thanks for those who are working so hard for making and keep running such an wonderful app❤️
5 ★ My preferred file synchronizer. Works great. With Android 11, synchronizing to an external SD card is fixed. (This pain point was caused by Android OS policy in previous versions, and was out of Syncthing's control.) Hear hear for a great tool!
4 ★ Took a long time to make this work. Very confusing to-and-from folders-devices.BUT it does work across wifi home network on android and (win10).
5 ★ i think this is one of the best utilities to those who want to manange files cross platform. learning curve and OS compatibilities may impose a few limitations.
5 ★ It may be a little hard to use but it's not very hard. On pc it's possible to use a portable version and there is even a command line version.
1 ★ Might be a good app. But it says it will not even start when power save modus is on, which is default on my phone because it's way fast enough...
1 ★ Painful, a real pain to get it to work but took hours of fiddling. Upgraded laptop and it never worked again. Given up. Wouldn't waste my time again.
1 ★ recording to a flash drive on non-rooted devices does not work. this is not an android problem, it is specifically so made by the developer. the program is useless. the author removes negative reviews
5 ★ No battery problems here and I sync about 11 folders.
1 ★ Extreme power usage for no reason has drained my battery twice this week alone. Honestly a non-starter at this point...
5 ★ Missing the days of BitTorrent Sync this app is an excellent replacement. It can be slightly more complicated, but it should work right out of the box. Can't imagine using anything else. I'm not sure there is anything comparable in terms of cross platform support.
5 ★ Syncthing makes it much easier to manage my manual backups. I use it to keep backups of all my photos and files on my NAS. It's becoming more and more important with the recent changes to google photos. I'll admit it's not trivial to use. Personally, I'm a software developer by trade and it took me several trial and errors before I got it syncing like I wanted it to. That being said, I don't think anyone could build this solution better. Pretty awesome for free.😀
