Hey just wondering if anybody has any experience in a decentralized cloud storage solution. Pretty much just a personal replacement of Google, Apple, and Dropbox services. I’ve been doing some research and it seems like a cool technology that I have not heard about until I went looking for it. So just wanted to know if anyone had experience with it, the pricing, and which one they recommended. Thanks you.

Doesn't it use public servers to discover endpoints? What happens if those go offline?

I've been using it forever (10 years at least) and it's impressive. Had very few problems (mostly forgetting a folder is part of a sync).

Even moving a sync job from one machine to another just works (I use a server at home as an endpoint for phone data, sort of a Syncthing "server").

    Yes but you don't need them, you don't need any internet at all, you can be in a log cabin on a totally local network.

    What if you have endpoints on different networks and sync across the internet - doesn't it need those discovery servers to enable that?

    Or can you host your own discovery servers (think I've read that somewhere).
