The new Dropbox

Is there some open source version of something like rsync that is available to just sync between machines on a LAN? No cloud involved.

Does anyone use SyncThing on iOS? Last I heard the support was read only from a now defunct app called fsync. Thinking about migrating my family over, but this is a blocker for me.

Just use rsync + ssh.

i forgot to mention one of the machines is windows and I didn't want to go down the cygwin rabbit hole. It is windows 10 though so perhaps I could use WSL.

WSL over NTFS does not preserve file attributes, you'll get 777 everywhere. Plus, the I/O is damn slow currenty, and it's something they are unlikely to fix*; the more files you have, the slower it gets.
