Cloud services are extremely useful, but when it comes to personal storage of your private notes, documents and photos; having direct control over that storage is a much better for your data’s safety.

Syncthing is the FOSS that gives all the convenience of cloud storage services while keeping all your data synced on your own computers, putting you in control of your own data. I’ll share with you how I use Syncthing so you may apply it to your own life, to sync the programs you use!
