Unison is an open-source file synchronization tool that keeps two folders on different devices in sync.
Unlike traditional backups, it supports two-way synchronization, so changes on either side can be safely propagated.
Works across Linux, macOS, and Windows, and typically syncs data securely over SSH.

Does @nextcloud have a @[email protected] mode? Where 2 devices can be connected to a NC server, and then send files to each other directly.
So not only would the server not need to store the data (local first), it wouldn't even need to route it between the devices. Akin to the way WebRTC is supposed to enable 2 peers to connect via a kind of handshaking server and exchange voice/video streams directly.

A pure .NET file synchronization library supporting multiple storage backends with bidirectional sync, conflict resolution, and progress reporting. - Oire/sharp-sync
Syncthing
I'm looking at Syncthing . It sounds very interesting. Any views from real life?
I'm Linux Mint on desktops and laptop, plus one Windows 11 (for work crap). Android tablet (but don't really need files on it)
Boosts appreciated
I've got a Filen account although I barely use it (still mainly Dropbox). About to set up Filen for my mum as she has reached her Dropbox device limit

This has been one of the coolest talks at #FOSDEM this year for me. It's short, really funny and revolves around cool #FOSS technology #JMAP. Watch it, if you care about #Groupware or #FileSync or want to know, why software like #Nextcloud sometimes sucks so hard in regards to syncing files, calendars, contacts or tasks.
π Syncthing lets you sync files directly between your devices β no cloud, no central servers.
All data is end-to-end encrypted, open-source, and works across Linux, Windows & Android.

π¦ Efficient file syncing for massive datasets? Forget classic rsync!
β‘ #BLAKE3 hashes instead of timestamps β hash 70GB in just ~20 seconds thanks to multithreading across all CPU cores
#DevOps #Linux #SysAdmin #OpenSource #FileSync
π Algorithm comparison for 70GB:
- BLAKE3: ~20 seconds
- MD5: ~1.5 minutes
- SHA256: ~4.5 minutes
π The trick: Create a hash baseline, compare with `comm -13`, then use `rsync --files-from` to transfer only actually changed files
