Syncany

With a strong emphasis on security rather than ease of use, Syncany is a comprehensive application that makes it simple for you to backup and share files or folders.

Plainly speaking, you can employ Syncany to both backup your files and provide you and your friends with an easy accessible platform for file sharing purposes.

Still in a fairly young but active development stage, Syncany comes with a slightly different approach when compared with other, more popular services out there.

Technical Specifications:

• Price: FREE


• Storage Support: FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Samba


• User Interface: Minimal


• Security: 128-bit AES/Twofish/GCM encryption

Key Features:

• Locally encrypts files before uploading

Additionally, Syncany does not offer its own storage support, relying on your resources to backup files. Its minimal user interface may require more advanced settings through the command line client. However, you can install plugins for additional features.

Syncany is a good choice for users in need of a stable file backup and sharing platform that depends on their computer's or device's storage capacity.
