Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Google Drive Sync
Context: I am the developer of a "competitor" to bisync called syncrclone. I lay out a good-faith comparison here
-
[Still Noob] Needing some guidance for bisync setup.
I am the author of syncrclone which can do any remotes. It has its own pros and cons. See my comparison
-
First time user questions / Cache / WebDAV
I am the author of another option: syncrclone. I am, of course, biased but I think it actually works better than bisync, has a more robust algorithm, and is more compatible (including with WebDAV remotes). I wrote a good-faith comparison here. It is also more advanced to use including knowing that if you use webdav, you must set compare = 'size' (but hey, now you know!).

bisync: check file check failed
Another idea. I am the author of syncrclone, a python wrapper around rclone that does bi-directional sync. It predates bisync but not the other python wrapper on which bisync is based.
-
Dropbox forcing "Files On-Demand" cloud storage instead of local storage
Way different experience but I wrote a bidirectional sync tool that wraps rclone and can do it to Dropbox. I use it on Dropbox and OneDrive on my super old macs. My newer ones I just use the native OneDrive client. https://github.com/Jwink3101/syncrclone

Tips on Using B2 as a sync + backup service cost effectively?
More advanced but I wrote my one bi-directional sync tool. I use my tool to keep some thing synced across multiple machines and mount for things I don’t also need locally. It’s not as svelte as how OneDrive keeps things local and remote but it works.

New rclone-based backup tool I created, rirb: reverse incremental rclone backups, which may interest some in this community
This borrows a lot of ideas (and some code) from my other major rclone tool, syncrclone.
-
RIRB - Reverse Incremental Rclone Backups
Apparently I love writing wrappers around rclone (syncrclone, lfsrclone, PyFiSync, amongst others).
-
MacOS & Dropbox in ~/Library/CloudStorage
At home, I use my own tool I built to sync but that is not user friendly really.
-
Best/favorite GUI wrapper for backups using rclone?
This is quite the hack when there is bisync built in or third-party tools that interface directs and will work better. One example, which I built so I am biased, is syncrclone

Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
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.
-
Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?
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.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
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.

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.
