Title:
Feature Request: Syncthing integration
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello,
since the removal of Ubuntu One filehosting, a nice, well-integrated
filesync in Ubuntu desktop is missing. It would be a welcome addition
to have filesync back as an out-of-the box feature.
Syncthing is a proven open-source p2p filesync software. The software
has a track record of many years under active development, the
developer community is alive and well. It seems to be stable and the
architecture seems sound. (I cannot comment on its security
implications, though.)
Syncthing is server-less, it doesn't require a central/cloud server.
The usability leaves a lot to be desired and the current installation
and end-user experience is poor for a novice user.
The most successful part of Ubuntu desktop's mission has always been
making complicated Linux software easier to use for novice end-users.
Therefore my request is that Ubuntu considers spending development
resources on improving the user experience of Syncthing.
- Make Syncthing a part of a default Ubuntu desktop installation.
- Design a better end-user interface for remote sync device management.
- Design a better end-user interface for seamless filemanager integration.
- Add a possible, optional encrypted cloud storage sync service.
Thanks.
