Syncthing release v1.27.6
My favorite piece of software, together with KeePass. I have been relying on 'em for over a decade probably!
Been a big fan of it for a handful of years too now. Huge shame that it doesn’t work on iOS because of completely arbitrary limitations. One of my sync groups just handles my entire photo library

This may change soon… or I hope so.
I’m on iOS and use Syncthing as much as possible.
Genuinely curious what info you have behind “This may change soon”
What are you using for Syncthing on iOS?
Besides Apple’s current restrictions we don’t have a decent iOS Syncthing because there’s no financial initiative for anyone to build a good iOS App. For instance, the apps on the store seem to never have tried to properly implement background refresh. Yes it doesn’t solve all issues and it won’t be like an Android phone but it could allow for for full syncs when the phone is charging / at night and some sync time on battery.
Wow, I only discovered it 2 years ago but its indeed a great Software.
Just add FileBrowser and gets even better.
What confuses me about this software, that the developer states that is not a backup software. I get that kind of, but does that mean it’s not as reliable?! :D
When syncthing is configured to go both ways (the default), it also syncs any deletions. You can somewhat get around this by something like one way sync, but it’s not really a proper “backup” software.
Personally, I like to treat data synced by syncthing, even between multiple machines, as one copy of the data when I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule*, because syncthing won’t save me from a buggy program deleting all my files or user error, or anything like that.
*See wikipedia for info about the 3-2-1 backup rule.
Makes sense. Thanks :)
