My biggest issue with Syncthing is that it becomes unusable for large amounts of data due to the lack of selective sync (ignore lists are cumbersome as hell) and lack of virtual file system support. I have about 8TB of data on my NAS that I want to access remotely and it is not feasible to have duplicate copies of that much data on all of my devices.
You could simply sync select subdirectories.
That's what i do. Work perfectly
Agreed.
Resilio sync works better. But the “sync identity” thing is broken, and configuring it declaratively is hard.
But 100% agree. Would love a virtual file system solution. Ideally one which you can use to fill available disk space and ensure you always have a minimum number of copies.
