From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Recommendations for simple file hosting and sync (lemmy.ml)

I have very simple needs for file hosting and syncing. The files are mostly small text files and documents. And I need to access them from linux, windows and android devices.

Just a simple SFTP account on one of my work servers is probably enough for hosting. I guess the focus is on reliable client side syncing. Changes made the files from clients should sync seamlessly with some basic conflict handling just in case.

Can anyone recommend your current setups and sync clients in use?

Another vote for nextcloud.

Or synchthing if you want something that is serverless, but does not support sync on demand.
