Synchthing is, IMHO, the single most useful software tool I have ever used. In the past, when I needed to share something with another device I would send an e-mail to myself (my Inbox is full of mails 'from: me'), For small files I wouldn't even bother with Google Drive, because it is so slow and sometimes you just don't have an Internet connection. But now, with Syncthing, I'm finally able to keep a shared folder on all my devices. The fact it's free and open source is another big plus.
@@jothain There is Mobius Sync, yeah it is a paid app which kinda sucks but whatever, I don't think the main developers of Syncthing thought they could even figure out how to make Syncthing work on iOS, I remember reading threads on the Syncthing forums asking about iOS and for years the answer was always that the file structure of iOS was difficult to integrate with Syncthing to the point that they had no near term plans for developing Syncthing for iOS. Then one day Mobius Sync came out and it was like... oh ok nevermind now Syncthing works fine for iOS so long as you are willing to pay $4 or whatever for the app. There is a free Mobius Sync app version that can sync folders up to 20mb, this app is useful for syncing plain text files or using as a method for quickly and painlessly introducing two computers so they can sync files. Each device running Syncthing has an ID (long string of letters) and you need to enter that ID in to request a connection to that device in Syncthing. Normally this would require texting... emailing or some other copy-paste method of sending the key from one device to another... but the QR code reader lets you do it in 5 seconds flat. Once each computer is connected to your phone you can then introduce the two computers and you no longer need the phone in the picture, the file share between both your computers is direct at that point.
Very good introduction to syncthing. In the middle of your video I was having a hard time keeping track of all your OS switches between Ubuntu, Windows and Mac, because they all look the same to the unexperienced eye. Next time it might help your viewers if you could add a big fat text layer on top of your screencap video which shows what we're watching right now. Also it would help if you could highlight some menus or text boxes, which you're about to interact with, so your viewer's eyes can follow along more easily. Apart from that I really loved your well spoken explanations! Thank you!
This is a great video -- plenty of options presented, along with a lot of recommendations that are obviously the result of a lot of testing, experimentation, and running down dead ends. Only commenting for the algorithm, but while I'm doing so I wanted to say thank you for saving a lot of people a tremendous amount of time by sharing this information. Best of luck on continued growth of your channel.
Thanks for this. I was looking for a simple way to sync two computers on a private network and came across syncthing, but all the other videos and articles I read were aimed at more experienced users. You video is, as far as I can tell, unique in that you cover what someone like me needs to know and then go on to more sophisticated uses. If this is a typical example of your teaching style, you're great at it!
This is the best tutorial on Syncthing to date! Instead of exposing mine to the internet however, I use tailscale to make a private mesh VPN between my devices and the devices behave as if they're all on the same LAN.
30mins, every second is gold, absolutely 0 rubbish. And this is the kinda of video, i would download onto my pc, and archive it with syncthing installer, and send it to my friends. i started with resilo sync, but it wasn't quite reliable, until i found this gem software, and i am running synctrayzor coz i am lazy haha. the software works like a dream. came here to watch your video just to check have i missed any setting/tip/tricks, and sir i am not disappointed.
Bro this thing is so powerful bro everytime i go out of my house ive got my obsidian workspace, my music, my tachiyomi/tachidesk in my phone synced from my computer damn this is awesome and its free ive already donated to syncthing
And for those using it in a windows server, tcp port 22000 needs to be manually opened in 100% of the situations i ran into in order for it to work properly. Sometimes you also need to have static IPs and have them set up to the correct IP and port instead of it being dynamic in syncthing
Thank you for a very informative video 🙂! Just a quick comment on the ignore patterns - you don't need the first two ** in ***/*.tmp as the pattern is exactly the same as using just *.tmp. The two *** are only useful if you look inside a specific directory, e.g. dir1/**/*.tmp, which will find any *.tmp files inside dir1 and its subfolders.
I had trouble with the SyncTrazor. The issue was about the versions of the synching. But your video covered the topic so well that I could follow all the steps from the beginning to finally sync a folder successfully on my PC and on my Android phone. I can't thank you enough. The sync is seamless and instantaneous. Thank you very much, dear TechCraft. I have liked and shared the video and looking for other videos on the channel. If I find them useful, I'll subscribe to the channel right away.
That was massively helpful. I already have my phone synced to my desktop. But I did a very rudimentary job of it. You definitely showed me how I can do it properly.
Very comprehensive and newb friendly guide! I found this program a month ago and I find it so convenient, better than uploading to the cloud and then sharing links.
I am so excited to implement this into a now remote video editing team workflow. I really appreciate how to translate what you are doing into English, it helps me learn more about what I typically just copy and paste from smarter people such as yourself.
You. Sir, are magnificent. As a complete and very ungifted noob I've fought with this for MONTHS and was ready to give up. Now, after barely an hour(!!!) I have fully functional sync between Win, LX, Mac and Androids with no lose ends (ah, well, almost no lose ends). Grand Merci!!!
This is amazing.. really! i asked my wife if i should just pay for obsidian notes "sync" feature.. she said "you must just take notes some other way" And i guess i could. using google docs or something But then i found this... oh my god. Syncthing is amazing - when it's been set up. The guide on the official page is more or less non-existent. Thank you for this video. Saving me 10 bucks per month!
My use case is for synchronizing Obsidian on my laptop and on my Android phone, and the tutorial answered all the questions I had. It was very easy to follow. Syncing with git was a pain in the neck to say the least and syncthing solves the problem. Thanks for sharing knowledge!
This is a really good tutorial. I have been using Syncthing for about 2 years now by figuring it out alone, and it works, but I understand some parts of it better now through your video. Thank you.
this is the greatest software i've just come across still learning the nuances literally can be used for a work around to sync your obsidian via android to pc and so far its works sorta seamless since all these stupid cloud services like drive onenote via your phone don't allow you to sync folder directories with in a folder. But Syncthing fills this gap
Wow, great video, I just found out about your channel by watching this video, I've seen others Syncthing video/tutorial, but what you said is the most detailed and then the working principle is also said. Because this kind of video shows the user's knowledge points and how to use them, I like this kind of comprehensive video the best, I hope your channel will get better and better. 👍
What’s your favourite feature or application on android that you can’t do on iOS? Asking as an apple fan boy but also knows Linux as desktop due to my work
@@weiguo9887 1. Syncing files and photos from computer (be it Mac/Linux/Windows). On android I can use Syncthing. 2. Joplin/Logseq notes syncing with computer, without any Cloud or NAS. 3. Respect the file creation date for photos without metadata. Very old pictures without picture metadata will be modified once transfered into iPhone and out. Android won't change the file creation date. 4. Calendar/Contacts syncing with NAS. iPhone can only do it with Nextcloud if your home network is exposed to the outside world and with https. This is totally not necessary on Android. I use NAS only in local network and never expose my port, so https is not necessary.
One of the best videos I have watched (ever), great explanations and how to get started... thank you! I'm moving from paid Sugarsync that has become problematic to syncthing next!
Great tutorial. I recently set up CasaOS on a Pi 4 as a NAS an wanted a simpler way of syncing folders than the pain of using SAMBA. with this I have my important stuff on my Zorin OS set up sent to my Pi 4 in about 5 minutes. Thanks for the info!
Love it! Was pleased to see great integration with android. Using this with my emulators to seamlessly sync saves between my PC, steam deck, and handheld android emulator device
I've been using this for about 3 years now, and it's amazing. My only 2 complaints are no ios support, and no elective syncing, if you have one big nas folder instead of multiple separate shares
@@tech_craft unfortunately it is what it is. Apple has an iron grip over the fs, and it'll never release. I've considered switching to nextcloud because of this, in case I do get an iPhone eventually, but it's just not the same, and doesn't run very well (in my experience)
😁 Easily one of the best videos on Syncthing I've come across, thank you. If I were to connect my family member's (not on my home network.) phones for syncing on my pc, would it appear (to my internet provider) that I'm running a server? I've already had my internet temporarily disconnected by my provider for testing servers, and really don't want to have to go through that process again. It seems that my provider is not learning friendly, and I'm not ready to upgrade to a business plan (+30/mth) just for learning/experimenting. I do eventually plan on moving over to a vps, but after a bit more studying.
Thanks for the super well explained video - i have been looking for a good alternative to reslio sync for yeears but was too lazy - this is a perfect solution!
I don’t have words to describe how happy I am about this app. And the explanation was so easy to follow! Such a pain when I tried to sync from one computer to another using OneDrive. And you have to manually do it, it doesn’t just sync automatically….One somewhat related question. What’s the best way to sync 2 folders on the same Mac?
Good tutorial and good intro. The challange I see with syncthing is an easy working system to restore files in case you need them. it gets confusing with the browser interface
3:00 is one of those famous case studies for "Linux is great if you have zero respect for your time" Wanna know how do I run this thing in Windows? Double click on the icon - DONE.
I haven't tried Zerotier, but I do have Tailscale set up as another option for syncing. I've had a bunch of issues with mobile battery life with the various VPNs so I set up the port forward as a simple way of syncing without having to worry about battery.
This is a late but a big thank-you note since I should have done this earlier.:) Thank you very much to share the in-depth explanation of syncthing and it resolves my sync issue among multiple devices. In my workflow, I need to use VPN frequently but iCloud's syncing is so unpredictable between my Apple devices. In other words, if I forget to turn off the VPN, the iCloud sync halts and data between devices will be conflicted all the time. I even gave up iCloud but use GitHub/git-server to sync my fleet notes between home and work emacs manually. Surprisingly, syncthing that you introduced resolved my issue magically and I do not have to remind myself to turn off the VPN again before syncing or doing stupid git-commands for simply syncing my notes.:) BTW, the "mobius sync" actually work with my ivim(vim in iOS) well, and I was wondering how your next-cloud experiment is. Again, a big thanks to you! Cheers!
TNice tutorialS IS WHAT I NEEDED BRO, thank you for taking the ti and doing tNice tutorials for most of that are starting with tNice tutorials beautiful tNice tutorialng called
Excellent presentation of what looks like a great piece of software. I'll research how the Syncthing devs get paid before I go further. Thanks for sharing.
My remote use laptop does not have sufficient disc space to store all of my files so syncing to my NAS is not possible. Is there a way to use Syncthing to allow my laptop to request a single file from my NAS ? This is the first video that I've seen from Tech Craft. So professional. Subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words! I have the same setup - my NAS has way too much data. You can configure just a subset of directories and use the ignore patterns. With ignore patterns you can ignore everything and then opt to include just a few files using ! at the start of a pattern docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html
I use Syncthing on all of my devices - phones with Andorid and different computers with Linux, Mac and Windows. It is a love-hate relationship more inclining to the love side :) I love it because it is so agile and I can make any type of sync between my devices. But as much as I love it, I hate it, because I can easily lose track of what files are synced where. Also sometiimes the initial step of syncing a particular folder can drive me crazy - if I am on a computer Syncthing does not offer me to open the camera and to scan to QR code of the other device and sometimes I need to enter the long code by hand.
Thanks. I have done that for a while and it's certainly a fine option.The main downside is that syncing via a relay is quite a bit slower and it got a bit frustrating. With a NAS as a central sync point, I only needed to open up one port. Another option mentioned in an another comment is to use a VPN like Zerotier or (in my case) Tailscale. I have that set up too, but I've found battery life on mobile devices to be quite bad so having the port open, the relay and the VPN gives me options.
Synchthing is, IMHO, the single most useful software tool I have ever used. In the past, when I needed to share something with another device I would send an e-mail to myself (my Inbox is full of mails 'from: me'), For small files I wouldn't even bother with Google Drive, because it is so slow and sometimes you just don't have an Internet connection. But now, with Syncthing, I'm finally able to keep a shared folder on all my devices. The fact it's free and open source is another big plus.

I love it because it is so agile and I can make any type of sync between my devices. But as much as I love it, I hate it, because I can easily lose track of what files are synced where. Also sometiimes the initial step of syncing a particular folder can drive me crazy - if I am on a computer Syncthing does not offer me to open the camera and to scan to QR code of the other device and sometimes I need to enter the long code by hand.
Great video Rob, wouldn't it make more sense to host your own relay rather than all the port forwarding?
Thanks. I have done that for a while and it's certainly a fine option.The main downside is that syncing via a relay is quite a bit slower and it got a bit frustrating. With a NAS as a central sync point, I only needed to open up one port.
Another option mentioned in an another comment is to use a VPN like Zerotier or (in my case) Tailscale. I have that set up too, but I've found battery life on mobile devices to be quite bad so having the port open, the relay and the VPN gives me options.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial.
Thanks so much.....I was trying for years how to share data between phone and laptop easily
