Moving files between servers, cloud storage and your computer

Open Source

Syncthing

Continuously syncs folders between your own devices, peer to peer and encrypted, with no cloud in the middle.

Open Source

Server and cloud storage browser: FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Azure, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and more.

It just works. I now even prefer it over FileZilla on Windows.

Open Source

AirDrop for every device: sends files and text to nearby devices over your local network, no internet or account needed.

The “fine, I’ll do it myself” of AirDrop, between everything.

Open Source

Keeps folders in sync with remote servers and containers over SSH or Docker, one-way or two-way, with a real local copy that works offline.

I use it to sync some Debian files to my local macOS. It’s reliable, easy to set up and almost instant.

CLI only

Open Source

Android file transfer for Mac: browse and copy files between your Mac and an Android phone over USB (MTP).

You can use it with the Nintendo Switch too; it makes up for macOS’s lack of good MTP support. I still need to reboot macOS sometimes, though.

Open Source

Syncs, copies and mounts files across 70+ cloud storage providers, like rsync for the cloud, with optional encryption.

I use it with borgmatic to send backups to cloud services. 3-2-1 backups FTW.

CLI only

Open Source

Simple standalone WebDAV server to share and edit files over the network from any file manager.

WebDAV is old, but so convenient. It’s surprising how many apps support it.
