    Does anyone have current recommendations for an alternative to nextcloud file syncing/sharing?

    I use it only for the below:

    • synchronize some files/folders between some of my devices
    • share files/folders with friends who don’t have an account; either with no password/account, or a password set at time of sharing
      • temporary/timed sharing so it is eventually no longer shared is nice, but not required
    • use its webui like dropbox to upload files to my server from random machines (or download them)

    And for that, nextcloud seems to be overkill.

      Sounds like Syncthing for syncing and something like…is it… croc or Wormhole…? To drop files and send things.

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding haha.

        Thanks, I’ll take a look. Syncing is nice, but I’ll see how it fits!

          It’s command line but super easy. You can add it to daily or every ten minute cronjobs. Easiest format is rsync -avz /from /to. If it is too another device rsync -avz /from user@ip:/to
