I just started experimenting with Syncthing because Dropbox no longer meets my needs.

So far I'm pretty happy and impressed, it's a decentralized piece of software that Just Works (TM). My plan for backups is to spin up a VPS somewhere and have them back it up.

I also love that it can use LAN; I can finally sync up my giant mp3 collection.

+1 on syncthing.

I have one on my computer, one one our Raspberry Mediabox (with a dedicated drive) and one on a dedicated VS.

New version using inotify really helped the Pi !

Syncthing is awesome. My main use of it is to share between my laptop and seedbox. Also if I want to share something with my friends in an unattended manner.
