Cloud storage is convenient until billing tiers and data residency become a problem.
Syncthing is a program to easily synchronize folders across two or more computers. Instead of uploading your files to a central server for sharing them, Syncthing sends files directly from one computer to the other.
If you currently rely on Dropbox and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a privacy-friendly licensing model, Syncthing covers most of the same ground.
Most privacy-friendly alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with Dropbox before committing.
