Yes, I have a folder called "pocket-cloud". Using syncthing, this folder is synced between my phone, laptop and a server at my house. Whenever I add or modify a file on any of those devices, it automatically syncs to the others. Because there are three devices, it's very uncommon to miss updates. If my laptop or phone are asleep, the server picks up the changes and passes them on.

Did I mention? The devices don't even need to be connected to the internet! They only need to be on the same LAN!

I have other synced folders, including PDFs, music and phone pictures/videos.

My girlfriend and I have a Resilio Sync folder that we use to share stuff with each other. It works flawlessly and we don't even need the internet!

Resilio Sync and Syncthing are amazing tools. If you have any capacity to fix bugs, I recommend using Syncthing (open source), so that you can potentially fix bugs :) It's becoming much more stable, but could always use the support!



Another thing: I'm using Syncthing to back up my 50+ GB bitwig projects folder. It does automatic versioning in case something funny happens. This has actually saved my neck before.
