Sync 2 Folders
FYI, Apple does not have the most recent version of rsync in macOS, but if you don't mind using Apple's outdated version, you can also use one of the free GUI apps, like [RsyncOSX](https://rsyncosx.netlify.app/

Why do you need the video cache in a cloud? You do realise that cloud=on the internet somewhere? Maybe you want a fine sync Utility like https://rsyncosx.netlify.app for one time sync or https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-macos for keeping directories/drives/machines synchronised continuously.

Looking for an to keep 2 disks always synced/mirrored
It's a command-line app and as such rather difficult to configure. But using a GUI makes that a lot easier. Look at 2 slightly different option from the same developer: RsyncOSX manual here and/or RsyncUI manual here

Any good backup app for mac to backup files to external drives?
There is a utility called rsyncOSX that uses a GUI to help you set up rsync. I used something similar years ago (the app I used isn’t in active development anymore).

Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?
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!)

Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
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.

Obsidian 1.5 Desktop (Public)
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.

What do you use to write your fan fictions?
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.
