![]() ![]() syncing files and taking notes are just things I always find something to over-engineer improve upon. I already set up sharing an internal NC's folder via Syncthing. I’m sure I like this solution right now but do something else tomorrow. I've also been using NextCloud in conjunction with Syncthing (both running on the server, with the Syncthing directory as an external folder in NextCloud), and that works fine too. Secure ShellFish can also store files offline if you want to, I just don’t know how reliable that is, yet. I think you’d need to go with a dedicated server then or have something at home like a raspberry pi or Synology/QNAP NAS. Sure, when using a virtual server with the encrypted volume it doesn’t really help as long as the volume is mounted since the provider can still log in to your machine and see the data. configured SFTP / ssh access from Secure ShellFish to the Syncthing backed folder on the server.configured Syncthing on my desktop to sync the folder with my server.installed Syncthing on the server, pointed it to some directory on the encrypted volume.a cloud server with a block volume attached.a dedicated server or a virtual (cloud) server. it’s easy as 1 2 3: you have a server available through SSH, this can be at home, exposed to the internet, just internal or a server online somewhere. Secure ShellFish integrates into the iOS files app and uses the SFTP protocol to connect to a server. granted, ownCloud and Nextcloud probably want to be an operating system, so good for them. they come up with one security issue after another and behave more like an operating system instead of what I want: a folder that’s syncs. since there’s just no way to use a tool like Syncthing on iOS and ownCloud/Nextcloud just suck don’t fit my needs. Well, Secure ShellFish to the rescue! to be honest, the only thing which blocked me from having my own solution until now was iOS. also, when you’re on iOS like me, it’s hard to not go with a solution like iCloud, Dropbox or Google Drive since there’s just no good alternative out there… That’s kinda hard to achieve with Dropbox or Google Drive, which either have a bad or no Linux support at all. last but not least, I want the solution to be cross-platform or platform agnostic since I don’t know when and if I switch from a to b. turns out, it’s super easy! I want to take control over my files, I want to decide where I store them and I also want to have it either in sync across all my devices or at least easily accessible (on my phone). Finally, I think I came to a good solution to have my data in sync, available on all my devices and under my control. ![]()
