If you want to show your phone's screen in a video, a convenient way might be to use scrcpy. You could share your phone's screen over ADB (USB or Wi-Fi) to your PC.
-
It's important to highlight that by default, it really means sync. If you delete on one computer, it gets deleted on the other. It's not like Google Drive and stuff, it really is peer-to-peer.
-
Syncthing is really amazing. Started using it to sync my KeePassXC password database between pc, tablet and phone. Then set it up to sync my school work between pc and tablet only. And then some media between pc and home server. The control is just so convenient

Just finished setting up a Raspberry Pi hooked up to 4 HDDs to act as a storage server
This video couldn't have come out at a better time -
In all seriousness though, syncthing is amazing. I've used it for years.
-
I have been using Syncthing for a few months because that was the only way to keep my org-roam notes synchronized across my PCs, tablets and phones.
Its really great. -
Enabling file versioning is super useful in case anything goes wrong and also acts as a semi backup solution.
-
Syncthing can in fact sync across subnets (which includes the wider internet) by default, without needing any sort of publicly visible central server. It uses global discovery servers to get the peers' addresses, so the data transfer itself is still P2P.
I use it regularly to share sensitive files within my family, who are all busy people travelling around the country (and sometimes abroad too) with our laptops. It just works.
Edit: s/STUN server/global discovery server/ -
Syncthing + Obsidian is a game-breaking combo. I still wait for Logseq to git gud so I can switch to it instead.
-
i installed syncthing half a year ago. it was one of the options i was told, for how to sync my obsidian notes for free
it was really the perfect app -
Once you figure out how it works it is a powerful tool. No more limits and no more nosy corpos.
Tip: Enable recycle bin in your shares, else when you delete X file it'll be gone on all linked devices and it's too late to review the deletion. -
Been using Synchthing for a good while now.
I even set it up for my parents, relatives and GF.
The funniest part is having them trying to explain what it is to other people when they say they don't use cloud services (at least for personal usage) -
I had a lot of problems trying other programs to sync music files. Syncthing was a miracle. Thank you for this video!
-
This is very useful for me, I sync books and music all the time with my phone and some of my methods are relatively ghetto or annoying. So this is nice.
-
Thank you for showing me new things man. I finally have some time off work, and I’m gonna spend my time installing Linux on an old laptop I have. I’m so excited to learn.
-
Syncthing has been wonderful to me. On android, I use SyncthingFork from Fdroid. Also the 3 files 2 folders thing is that it sends extra dotfiles with digest information to make sure files are matching plus revision information cause you can go back a revision too if you have your settings made that way.
-
Yes I have been using it on my local server and PC's for the last several years. Flawless.
-
Syncthing is an absolute gem. It's so configurable and I use it for a pretty wide variety of roles in my lab and in my personal life.
-
BASED.
've been using it for several months already. It's quite useful to backup/syncronize you data, once properly set up.
Also, there would likely be outages over here soon, so I'll be able to stay synced even with my phone's lan! 😊 -
I've used Syncthing for years. I run it on my Pixel phone too so I always have my files available on practically any computer.
