What is Syncthing-Fork?
Syncthing-Fork is a fork of the popular open-source file synchronization application Syncthing. It preserves Syncthing's core functionality of synchronizing files across devices, while adding several enhanced features.
Key features that Syncthing-Fork provides over vanilla Syncthing include:
- Native notifications for transfer status updates
- An improved GUI with additional information and customization options
- Advanced configuration settings for finer control over sync behavior
- Enhanced monitoring and auditing capabilities
- Support for delta syncs to improve transfer speeds
Like Syncthing, Syncthing-Fork utilizes an open protocol for local device communication. It creates a mesh network between devices to facilitate quick and secure file sharing without relying on a central server. Devices can join and leave the mesh automatically as needed.
Syncthing-Fork retains cross-platform support and offers native applications for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android and more. It aims to build on the solid foundations of Syncthing while providing power users more flexibility and control.
