git-remote-dropbox VS syncthing

For what it's worth, git also can fail in some pretty bizarre ways in Dropbox for much the same reasons. I've used git-remote-dropbox [1] in the past to use Dropbox as a git server.

If you want to use dropbox, then you should use the dropbox/git bridge, which lets git speak to dropbox somewhat directly, bypassing these problems.

This is a high-level overview. No summary of API requests, but all the file I/O is in helper.py, so you can look there. At a high level, we rely on atomic (over)write and atomic test-and-set. Different primitives could work too, as long as there's some way to get concurrency control through the API.

So, if you really want to use dropbox for syncing git repos, this plugin solves the problem well:

For me, it solved all of the corruption problems with using Dropbox for git storage. In the end, I decided it was too heavy weight, and wanted to be able to clone my repo on machines that might not have anything other than "git" installed, but until I reached that point, I was a happy user of it.

I'm not aware of a similar tool for syncthing.

Yeah there are tools that help in doing that. e.g, git-remote+dropbox

My biggest gripe with Firefox on Android is that sometimes I enter a domain in the address bar, press enter and nothing happens.

This behaviour seems to be erratic and only affects a few websites, such as https://forum.syncthing.net.

Closing the tab or using a different one doesn't solve the problem. I need to force close the app to fix this.

Syncthing has had on their roadmap for 9.5 years to support iOS but hasn’t due to lack of interest by the developers to devote the time to make it.

macOS is supported though.

And Syncthing via 3rd parties does support iOS.

I haven't been able to access https://docs.syncthing.net or https://forum.syncthing.net/ but I was able to access some of the docs via github. I think I've set it up according to the docs. The logs contain lots of messages like:

Malware built into iOS makes it impossible to install Syncthing[0], which is a problem for most of the people who use iCloud tp sync their files.

They seem to have chosen Docker instead of Flatpak. You can get it with Docker by running:

syncthing is fully open sourced and distributed under MPL-2 licenses, while dropbox is not!

You could try to force QUIC which should handle latency a bit better. The priority of TCP/QUIC will be configurable with the upcoming v1.23.5 release:
