+I have been using [syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) for some time now. It is a tool to handle bidirectional synchronization of data. For example I use it on my personal infrastructure to synchronize:
- org-mode files between my workstation, laptop, a server and my phone (I need those everywhere!)
- pictures from my phone and my nas
