Hello fellow selfhosters! I have a laptop and a tablet (both running endeavourOS), and I want a certain folder to be always in sync. I also have a very potato server.
My two options currently are Nextcloud and Syncthing. The laptop and the tablet are rarely online at the same time, so I need the server as middleman (so, no syncthing laptop <-> tablet, but laptop <-> server <-> tablet).

Which one do you recommend? The power consumption (of the client) is also very important, because both the laptop and the tablet are battery-powered

I’m also open to other options as well!

thanks in advance to everyone!


Edit: thanks to everyone for your precious help! I finally set up syncthing and it’s working flawlessly!

    Isn’t nextcloud the “evolution” of owncloud? Except for the UI, are their performance similar?

      Not necessarily. It’s a fork of OC but with more features and a completely different UI. Supposed to be more like the Google “suite” of products rather than OC which is more like just Google Drive.
