Syncthing is a useful open source tool to keep all of your files in sync over multiple computers. It works like Dropbox, but it’s a peer-to-peer system instead of having a central repository to host all of your files.

Windows Set Up

1. Download the windows client from the Syncthing website.
2. Copy the EXE file to a folder on your Windows machine.
3. Create a Batch file in the same folder with the following:
   • start “Syncthing” syncthing.exe -no-console -no-browser

5. Admin interface is located at http://127.0.0.1:8384.

Update: SyncTrazor is a small stand-alone browser that automatically runs, restarts, updates etc. Syncthing for you.
