Ok, thanks! It would be very interesting if it has a built-in encryption
and decryption feature.
Although this of course is independent. You can have a sync directory of
only encrypted files - it's up to you.
I do Not sync any active working data. It is first copied to the sync
folder, that then syncs with the other nodes.
syncthing provides zero storage. It is a transfer/sync tool between
separate hardware.
the "cloud" is user owned and controlled.
That's what I understood about Syncthing.
The data is *distributed* between the devices and not on a central
server somewhere (like Nextcloud). It's a decentralized!
I think that's the main difference between Syncthing and Nextcloud ?
separate use, it was a sidebar comment. I only use them for small
specific purposes as needed.
Dropbox is easy to use for sharing with others.
Mega syncs photos and files between my Androids and my computers
gracefully, then I copy data to my system.
So, let me suggest something too (if you have the resources for one more
machine).
Try to use Nextcloud for this use, so your data will never remain in the
hands of others - other than yourself and those who want to send it.
Thank you! :-)
