What is Syncthing?

Syncthing is an application designed for real-time file synchronization, which enables secure file sharing among various computers. It guarantees that your files remain synchronized without disruptions, thus protecting your privacy from unauthorized access. You have full authority over your data, allowing you to determine where it is stored, how it is shared, and the methods of transmission used. By keeping your files exclusively on your own devices, it mitigates the dangers associated with centralized servers that may be susceptible to security breaches. Communication is safeguarded through TLS encryption, enhanced by measures like perfect forward secrecy, which prevents potential eavesdroppers from gaining access to your data. Each device that connects is verified through a strong cryptographic certificate, ensuring that only those you have permitted can establish a connection. The protocol that underpins Syncthing is open and thoroughly documented, eliminating any hidden intricacies. Additionally, any bugs or issues that may come up are quickly made public for transparency, ensuring that no flaws are hidden from users. This dedication to openness and user empowerment makes Syncthing a dependable option for those seeking secure file synchronization, while also fostering a community that values security and user trust.
