Synchthing is, IMHO, the single most useful software tool I have ever used. In the past, when I needed to share something with another device I would send an e-mail to myself (my Inbox is full of mails 'from: me'), For small files I wouldn't even bother with Google Drive, because it is so slow and sometimes you just don't have an Internet connection. But now, with Syncthing, I'm finally able to keep a shared folder on all my devices. The fact it's free and open source is another big plus.

This is a great video -- plenty of options presented, along with a lot of recommendations that are obviously the result of a lot of testing, experimentation, and running down dead ends. Only commenting for the algorithm, but while I'm doing so I wanted to say thank you for saving a lot of people a tremendous amount of time by sharing this information. Best of luck on continued growth of your channel.

Very good introduction to syncthing. In the middle of your video I was having a hard time keeping track of all your OS switches between Ubuntu, Windows and Mac, because they all look the same to the unexperienced eye. Next time it might help your viewers if you could add a big fat text layer on top of your screencap video which shows what we're watching right now. Also it would help if you could highlight some menus or text boxes, which you're about to interact with, so your viewer's eyes can follow along more easily. Apart from that I really loved your well spoken explanations! Thank you!

That was massively helpful. I already have my phone synced to my desktop. But I did a very rudimentary job of it. You definitely showed me how I can do it properly.

Thanks for this. I was looking for a simple way to sync two computers on a private network and came across syncthing, but all the other videos and articles I read were aimed at more experienced users. You video is, as far as I can tell, unique in that you cover what someone like me needs to know and then go on to more sophisticated uses. If this is a typical example of your teaching style, you're great at it!

30mins, every second is gold, absolutely 0 rubbish. And this is the kinda of video, i would download onto my pc, and archive it with syncthing installer, and send it to my friends. i started with resilo sync, but it wasn't quite reliable, until i found this gem software, and i am running synctrayzor coz i am lazy haha. the software works like a dream. came here to watch your video just to check have i missed any setting/tip/tricks, and sir i am not disappointed.

I had trouble with the SyncTrazor. The issue was about the versions of the synching. But your video covered the topic so well that I could follow all the steps from the beginning to finally sync a folder successfully on my PC and on my Android phone. I can't thank you enough. The sync is seamless and instantaneous. Thank you very much, dear TechCraft. I have liked and shared the video and looking for other videos on the channel.

And for those using it in a windows server, tcp port 22000 needs to be manually opened in 100% of the situations i ran into in order for it to work properly. Sometimes you also need to have static IPs and have them set up to the correct IP and port instead of it being dynamic in syncthing

Thank you for a very informative video 🙂! Just a quick comment on the ignore patterns - you don't need the first two ** in ***/*.tmp as the pattern is exactly the same as using just *.tmp. The two *** are only useful if you look inside a specific directory, e.g. dir1/**/*.tmp, which will find any *.tmp files inside dir1 and its subfolders.

Is it ** or .* (I know in grep wildcard is .* - Zero or more occurrences of any single character)

This is a late but a big thank-you note since I should have done this earlier.:) Thank you very much to share the in-depth explanation of syncthing and it resolves my sync issue among multiple devices. In my workflow, I need to use VPN frequently but iCloud's syncing is so unpredictable between my Apple devices. In other words, if I forget to turn off the VPN, the iCloud sync halts and data between devices will be conflicted all the time. I even gave up iCloud but use GitHub/git-server to sync my fleet notes between home and work emacs manually. Surprisingly, syncthing that you introduced resolved my issue magically and I do not have to remind myself to turn off the VPN again before syncing or doing stupid git-commands for simply syncing my notes.:) BTW, the "mobius sync" actually work with my ivim(vim in iOS) well, and I was wondering how your next-cloud experiment is. Again, a big thanks to you! Cheers!

😁 Easily one of the best videos on Syncthing I've come across, thank you. If I were to connect my family member's (not on my home network.) phones for syncing on my pc, would it appear (to my internet provider) that I'm running a server? I've already had my internet temporarily disconnected by my provider for testing servers, and really don't want to have to go through that process again. It seems that my provider is not learning friendly, and I'm not ready to upgrade to a business plan (+30/mth) just for learning/experimenting. I do eventually plan on moving over to a vps, but after a bit more studying.
