Securely sync data across different operating systems using Syncthing: Let’s see how you can securely sync data using Syncthing. Of course, absence of a central server also mains that both computers have to be online at the same time so that they can be synced.

#RESILIO SYNC VS SYNCTHING SOFTWARE#

But if you want to keep data synced between different computers, then Syncthing is a good software to try. There is unlimited flexibility.ĭo note that I am not recommending this software as a file backup software there are tons of software for that too, and I also personally like to backup my data in the cloud. You can even choose to share different folders with different people on different systems. And there is no limit on how much data you can share. Instead of uploading data to a server and syncing using that, it instead syncs data directly between different computers. However, Syncthing provides a different method to sync data. But most of these software use cloud services to sync files & folders. There are many software out there to sync data between different operating systems. The most prominent advantage being that it is totally free. It has same features as BitTorrent Sync, but couple of things even better than that. If you have ever heard of or used BitTorrent Syn (now called Resilio Sync), then you will immediately relate to it as a free open source alternative to Resilio Sync.

This is not really convenient as it is in resilio-sync. With ignore patterns I define what I want and what not. Now if one has NOT used selective sync before and they come fresh to the problem, yes.I can see you would think that ignore patterns would get you what you want. but that assumes that one has used selective sync from other solutions and they would like to see something similar here. I guess better said: for anybody that has used dropbox selective sync OR resilio selective sync, I would dare say is really obvious that ignore patterns is NOT the solution to this problem, not even in the ballpark. it gives you "something" but not selective sync using the definition that I know I can't wrap my head around how ignore patterns actually gives you partial or selective sync for the exact same reason you outlined above.

keep seeing comments from core maintainers pointing to ignore patterns. for me, it should work exactly how you outlined it. Totally agree there's a fundamental disagreement on how "partial sync" (or "selective sync") should work.
