Open-source tool for decentralized file synchronization between devices

Syncthing

Syncthing is an open-source software that allows you to securely and automatically synchronize files and folders between your devices without using central cloud providers. It uses a peer-to-peer architecture where your data is exchanged directly between your devices and not through a central server. You retain full control over your data and can configure the synchronization according to your needs.
