Perhaps to get more at the root of the problem. Additionally, there is no native iOS client (I’m not an iOS user), due to iOS limited capability to share Syncthing files to another app that isn’t the Files app. Personally, I use Syncthing, which works great for me, but is a bit more complex than the more common options. To support just 1 will only serve a subset. To support them all will be a mammoth task. Some in this thread mention OneDrive, I generally use Google Drive, and many others will use Dropbox, etc. Ad blocking for your phone? VPN for work?

Nextcloud is another example of an open-source service which is being hosted by many individuals and organizations. Cloud drives: MEGA, Proton Drive and Nextcloud are great.

Nextcloud is free software, but you'll need to host it on your own server.įellow Indians, it is about time we talked about 'Online Privacy' I really like NextCloud, I have it hosted on a VPS and slapped a domain on it.
