A continuous file synchronisation program that keeps folders identical across two or more computers in real time, directly between devices and with no central server. Devices are identified by a cryptographic certificate fingerprint (the Device ID); only devices a user has explicitly accepted can connect, and all traffic is encrypted with TLS including forward secrecy. Devices find each other on the local network or, optionally, through global discovery servers, and can fall back to community relay servers when no direct connection is possible. The protocol is a documented specification, the code is open source and development is public. It is maintained under the Syncthing Foundation, a registered Swedish non-profit foundation .

Modelo de ComunicaciónDirect encrypted connections between devices, with global discovery servers and relays as optional helpers
Resiliencia de RedWorks on a local network without any external server; relays and discovery servers are optional and can be self-hosted
Mecanismo de DescubrimientoLocal discovery on the network, plus global discovery servers that map a Device ID to an address; the documentation discusses the information this reveals
Participantes Máximos Not stated by the project.
Soberanía de DatosHigh: data stays on the user's own devices and only accepted devices can connect
