Cloudreve VS syncthing-android

Check this https://github.com/cloudreve/Cloudreve/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

From my experience, i found Cloudreve to fit all of my requirements and its easy to use and has great performance. Everyone says that its Chinese but from my experience the translation is okay except 1 or 2 places in the admin dashboard beeing in Chinese, everywhere else is in English. It can run on either on windows or linux. It also has webdav, so you can connect to it with your desired app and i think that its usefull to use it without paying for static ip or other service in order to access your storage (i use cloudflare tunnel to access it from outside of my network for free). Also its open source so you can modify it to your needs. Cloudreve github repo If you need the documentation you can translate it and i found it very useful, but mos of the time the website explains everything. I am not sure but i think it can run in docker. If you want to upload big files to cloudreve but you are using the cloudflare tunnel, it had 100 MB limit, but if you upload the files though the web interface, it has no problem uploading big files like 10 gb or more and also has resume gile upload feature which is very usefull. I am not sponsored or anyting i just speak from experience.

I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing:

- FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features)

- Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/)

Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite.

We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background.

This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.

Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?

I have used both for a number of years already.

I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/.

After minimal setup, it just works(tm).

You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup").

I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. windows -> linux, linux -> mac)

For windows I usually recommend https://github.com/canton7/SyncTrayzor, but vanilla syncthing works fine too (but don't try to mix them!)

Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client.

One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device. With a cloud type of sync you do the transfer twice. I've seen stack up on large media or with the structure of cloud services pricing making it expensive depending on how your workflow is setup with inside and outside parties. For example, Dropbox deduction from all parties' storage limits not just the sharer.

You can also point Syncthing at a local sync of Dropbox or Google drive and then forward the files to other recipients from that for some purposes.

I think sync is a non-feature, as you can just ride on your existing solution.

For example, I use syncthing [1] with Obsidian to sync files off-cloud.

When I was 14 and just getting started, I used Notepad. Upgraded to Wordpad when I realized I loved putting italics in every other sentence, moved to Google Docs at around 25 when I started writing on my phone and wanted to sync with my computer, finally moved to Obsidian a few months ago (with Syncthing for syncing) when I decided I don't want to live in Google's house where they can burn my stuff down whenever they want.
