rsync VS Syncthing
Is rsync a good alternative to Syncthing?Comments about rsync as an Alternative to Syncthing
rsync is a pure command line client, requiring explicitly the command to be typed, with accurate data on the destination whereas Syncthing seems to run in background. This would require to use rsync plus something else (e.g. a scheduler, cron, acron, pick one)

Is GoodSync a good alternative to Syncthing?Comments about GoodSync as an Alternative to Syncthing
Spoutback up and sync are not the same function and while syncthing is always very explicit about that, this software (which I have not used) appears to be furthering confusing by conflating the two.
