Sync and share your data with Syncthing

Are you using Dropbox, Google drive or other proprietary sync or cloud services to store and access your data ? What if you could replace them with something open, trustworthy and decentralized ?

Syncthing is such an alternative. This open source client can securely share and sync data between devices without it being stored on a 3rd party provider. - Synchronize file between your laptop, desktop and mobile device

• Share file securely with a group of people

Syncthing is not magic and like any solution it has pro and cons. I believe it stand out due to it's overall design, security and relative easy to use.
