In this segment, we are going to show you “How to Install Syncthing on OpenMediaVault 5 using Raspberry Pi 4 | 2021“
What is Syncthing?
|
Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real-time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet. |
