So any files get synced directly (when possible) by syncthing, and you have the webinterface from nextcloud to access the files (e.g. And then you configure nextcloud to show the synced folder(s) in it's ui. On the "Mixed" case, you set up a nextcloud server, and set up syncthing on all your devices and the nextcloud server. But depending on the usecase this isn't needed, since any device has direct access to the synched files anyways. The "disadvantage" here is that you don't have a webinterface where you can access your files. Here data is synched directly between the devices (if technically possible, otherwise a relay will be automatically used). The "pure" synthing way, you install syncthing on any device where you want to sync data, create a folder that needs to be synced, add it to syncthing and share it with all other devices. With Syncthing, clients connect to each other directly to share files, without anyone in the middle. While in conventional systems, you files are uploaded to some server (Google, Apple, etc) and then downloaded on all clients, Syncthing handles things a bit differently. A device always needs to sync to nextcloud. Syncthing is a P2P, decentralized file synchronization system. The main disadvantage regarding synchronisation is here, that it's not possible to directly sync devices with each other. Alternatively you can use any other software that can sync with nextcloud or webdav (e.g rclone). In the "pure" Nextcloud way, you need some server where nextcloud runs, and some file sync software, that syncs your devices with the nextcloud server (i think the official nextcloud client can do this). Let me know your thoughts.Ĭan I sync my files with Nextcloud +Syncthing across devices? I'm curious about your opinion on this post. It turns out that Owncloud and Nextcloud have the same UI. In addition to Nextcloud, there is also a cloud storage service called OwnCloud. Additionally, I dislike the fact that the desktop client sometimes has syncing problems related to conflicting files from my experience. I like it, but the web interface can be a bit slow due to the location of the server being far away from my home. I've been using Nextcloud (TabDigital) for 4 months now, and it provides 8 GB of free cloud storage. After first hearing of them, I quickly did some research to determine which one to choose and concluded that they are not similar when synced between files in any way. Many people here mention Syncthing when they sync files between computers. I'm thinking about changing my file sync/cloud storage provider.
