Hi,
As the title suggests: what are alternatives to syncthing that are basically fire and forget, works on multiple device types, and just focuses on file syncing?
I’ve had over the months the weirdest problems with syncthing, and lately I noticed some of my photos got corrupted, which is an absolute no no for me. I use syncthing currently as a easy automatic backup of documents, photos and other files, between my PCs and my phones (they all send only to the server. Folders are not shared with other devices).
SMB (the protocol) works across devices and OS’s, and I use SMBSync2 to dump my photos to my NAS + off site

This has worked fine for me for years even thou the app isn’t on the Play Store anymore, and is fairly granular in regards to file types and where you wanna back them up

This is an interesting one, will check. Thanks! I do have some smb stuff already on the machine, so this might be an easier solution
I love it, and along with the folder they get dumped into being R/O means Immich (and by extension me…) can’t fugg up the timeline ;)
