I used Syncthing for a while between various Linux distros, and I used Syncthing-Fork on my Android tablet, and it was okay when it worked, but it often borked up, and there were so many arcane settings and weird failure modes. I realized that the only reason I was using Syncthing was because it appealed to the vestigial, ultra-paranoid crypto-fascist BOFH in me, and I had grown out of those attitudes.

So today I just use Google Drive and MS OneDrive like a normal person. They work great. I love 'em. They don't fail like Syncthing. They're way more secure, and fully supported. Come join me! The water's fine!

How is Google Drive "way more secure" than a peer-to-peer encrypted solution?

>>stavro+Zc
Most of us do not have IDS/IPS/DLP tooling in our home networks, nor do we have a 24/7 on-call SOC team monitoring their SIEMs dashboards.

Google and Microsoft provision this stuff, even for consumers, with secure authentication and good protections.

>>AStone+Bd
Syncthing is peer to peer, the files are already on the device. There's no way requiring one more device to be secure (the server) is better than not requiring it.

>>AStone+Bd
It uses STUN/TURN so your first point is irrelevant.

I don't understand the second. Are you saying Syncthing is less secure?
