Hi,

As the title suggests: what are alternatives to syncthing that are basically fire and forget, works on multiple device types, and just focuses on file syncing?

I’ve had over the months the weirdest problems with syncthing, and lately I noticed some of my photos got corrupted, which is an absolute no no for me. I use syncthing currently as a easy automatic backup of documents, photos and other files, between my PCs and my phones (they all send only to the server. Folders are not shared with other devices).

    Could be a bad AP.

    I once had a switch with a failing power supply that would corrupt MP3 artwork when writing to the MP3. That was a weird one to track down.

      That sounds like a crazy story to find out what the issue was. As I stated somewhere on the thread, ram is not the issue, and the APS are quite new (Aruba stuff that is 1 and a half year old). And the only situation I get this issues is with my phones in specific. I will probably use the smb solution stated before and see how is goes. If the thing still happens, then is hunting time
