What options did you not have with the own/Nextloud ?

You can send the 56 character "device identification" to another to
setup a sync of machines, then sync the specific folders you like.
I saw that *Syncthing* uses this method to recognize devices. Is it
safer than Nextcloud approach ? (so it seems at least)
Critical files can be encrypted individually by other means if you like.
The "other means" provided from *Syncthing* or do you mean independent
software that you can use in any approach ?
This laptop syncs 6 folders with 5 computers, Three are LAN (wifi and
cabled thru the router) Two are offsite.
Do you mean offline? Only with local/internal access ?
Local State (Total) 216,932 files 59,099 folders ~298 GiB total
ALL data being synced is a Copy of the working data (true backup)
ALL nodes have staggered Backups.
What exactly do you mean; could you please be more detailed?
Syncthing also uses *central* storage from all workplaces with backup
strategies ?
I also use Mega and Dropbox... both are slower, and Dropbox does have
fallout (missing files or corrupt files)
Why do this ?
Do you use highly secure open source software and then give access to
your data to services like dropbox ??? :-o
Try all and see what you prefer. Best wishes.
I actually want to use *Syncthing* for a long time (since I first read
about it, enthusiastic about the security and approach it offers) but
just because of the *Nextcloud* I have not come to the need if I do. And
that is the truth to be honest.
