windows file sync

The windows file sync tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about keeping files synchronized across Windows PCs and other devices, including self-hosted alternatives to cloud storage services. Recent coverage looks at Syncthing on Windows, where an older laptop running continuously can replace a paid subscription like Dropbox Basic, trading a provider's storage allowance for hardware you already own. The emphasis is on the practical trade-offs of that approach: you gain control over where files live, but your computers become the storage service and you take on the administrator duties that a hosted provider normally handles.
