It's also great for sharing files with friends/family. I gave a couple of friends a folder address, and we all just drop shit in there that we want the others to see.
Are you self hosting?
There really isn't any "hosting" with Syncthing. Everyone sharing the folder is kind of hosting.
How did you get to work outside your home network since you have shared folder with friends and family?
Try it out. It's free. Install it on a PC or phone, set up a shared folder. Put something in it. Set up syncthing on another phone/computer and use the same folder name. The program takes care of all the network stuff.
