FOSS Syncing

  • syncthing
    • fast
    • can work between devices on the same network, i.e. no cloud middle man
    • had a lot of conflict issues withObsidian plugin configs between android and desktop
  • rclone
    • more of a back up interface to different cloud services (including self host)

Why Onedrive is a PITA

  • doesnt support custom folder back up
    • this makes folders scatter on different hard drives and linked to other sync services hard to migrate over.
  • once organization account is deleted, data is gone locally
  • sync is resource intensive and somewhat unreliable
