Second this.

Setting up syncthing was incredibly easy and it is a beast. Has no problems syncing all my huge video media files

All it did is beg the question for me: why has nobody created a file sync UI where you can essentially use syncthing like you might Google Drive but with a slick effortless interface that non-technical folks wouldn't mind using?

On the contrary, I didn't find Syncthing setup very easy, as I don't want to be dependent on external resources when doing a sync over LAN and thus I had to setup a coordinator myself and it's a bit confusing with all these long tokens that I needed for some reason.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Is there something else you use right now?

It uses direct udp peer discovery on Lan though?
