Comments about Syncthing as an Alternative to GoodSync
I agree with the above comment. While being a great tool for its use, this is not the same kind of tool as GoodSync. This is more of a backup tool. When running Syncthing on two directories on the same computer that was already in sync, it wasn't able to see that the files where already there and copied everything over again in addition to creating a lot of zip files instead of copying the actual files.

Most users think Syncthing is a great GoodSync alternative.
Syncthing is the most popular Windows, Mac, Linux & Self-Hosted alternative to GoodSync.

- Syncthing is Free and Open Source
- Syncthing is Lightweight and Privacy focused

















































Although Syncthing is a great file synchronizer, do not completely replace Goodsync, as it does not sync files on the same computer and has no option to move files (delete at source).
