Syncthing

SyncthingThese days, we all have multiple devices – maybe a phone and a Tab, a phone  and a computer or even multiple phones. It is always a struggle to keep the devices in sync, especially with regard to certain important files and folders which are necessary.

Syncthing is a very simple synchronization tool to synchronize files and folders between multiple devices. Just install Syncthing on multiple devices and then follow the instructions to connect and sync the devices and select the folders or files to be Synced. From that moment onwards, whenever there are changes in that folder or file, they will be automatically synced.

It is totally private, since there is no upload / download to or from any external server and syncing is done in peer to peer mode. Besides, each device is identified by a strong cryptographic certificate – hence there is no leakage of data. And, all communication is secured, ensuring there is no eavesdropping during transfer.

The beauty of this is that you may sync files and folders across devices and platforms such as Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, BSD and more.

So, go for it, and get your devices synced fast and secure!
