What is Syncthing?
Syncthing is a decentralized file synchronization application that empowers users to maintain full control over their personal data. Unlike traditional cloud storage services, Syncthing operates without any centralized servers, ensuring that users' files remain solely on their own devices. This approach prioritizes privacy, as none of the data is ever stored or accessible to third parties. All communication between Syncthing nodes is secured using robust encryption, including perfect forward secrecy, to safeguard against eavesdropping. Furthermore, each node is identified by a strong cryptographic certificate, allowing only authorized devices to connect to the cluster. Syncthing's real-time file synchronization capabilities enable seamless collaboration and data management across multiple computers, making it an ideal solution for teams working with sensitive information, source code, or any other critical files that require secure, decentralized storage and sharing
