    Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I’d love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.

      It really wasn’t all that complicated for me. Install the client on two devices set a share up on one device go to the other device Hit add device put the share ID in. Go back to the first devices admin and say allow the share

      Well, it works in a different way than NextCloud. You don’t have a server, instead you just make a share between your computers and they are all peers.

      It takes some getting used to the idea, but it’s actually much simpler than NextCloud.

        So if I wanted to sync photos from my phone to the computer, then delete the local copies on my phone to save space, that would not work?

        E: But keep the copies on the computer, of course
