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).

    Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.

    Still wouldn’t trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

      Yeah. But it could be the board that burned it. But yeah, dead RAM is bad news, something is likely up. If I had data corruption and RAM didn’t show errors I’d begin swapping components. If the machine is cheap and swapping components would be too expensive or impractical, I’d swap the machine for another, like a cheap second hand Dell box.
