Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don't know it.
I set it up last month. I’ve rarely experienced had such a smooth setup process. Was putting it off for years because I had assumed I would need at least several hours. Right now I have one on a server and then every device syncs to it (thought it would be easy to set up backups that way)
this was my experience too. kept putting it off because I assumed I'd need to tinker a bit. didn't at all, worked immediately with only the simplest configuration. genuinely amazing, I wish my software worked that well.
