Syncthing is a free, open-source file synchronization application designed to allow users to synchronize files between multiple devices over the internet or local networks securely and privately.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is an alternative to cloud-based file sharing services.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
We recommend configuring this module as an sync-service through the provided options. Although it provides a Web GUI through which more usage scenarios are supported.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Private and Secure**: Syncthing uses TLS encryption to secure data transfer between devices, ensuring that only the intended devices can read your data.
|
||
|
- **Decentralized**: No central server is involved in the data transfer. Each device communicates directly with others.
|
||
|
- **Open Source**: The source code is openly available for audit and contribution, fostering trust and continuous improvement.
|
||
|
- **Cross-Platform**: Syncthing supports multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and Android.
|
||
|
- **Real-time Synchronization**: Changes made to files are synchronized in real-time across all connected devices.
|
||
|
- **Web GUI**: It includes a user-friendly web interface for managing devices and configurations. (`127.0.0.1:8384`)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Share Folders**: Select folders to share with connected devices and configure permissions and synchronization parameters.
|
||
|
|
||
|
!!! info
|
||
|
Clan automatically discovers other devices. Automatic discovery requires one machine to be an [introducer](#clan.syncthing.introducer)
|
||
|
|
||
|
If that is not the case you can add the other device by its Device ID manually.
|
||
|
You can find and share Device IDs under the "Add Device" button in the Web GUI. (`127.0.0.1:8384`)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Sync Conflicts**: Resolve synchronization conflicts manually by reviewing file versions and modification times in the Web GUI (`127.0.0.1:8384`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Support
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Documentation**: Extensive documentation is available on the [Syncthing website](https://docs.syncthing.net/).
