    Hey I use my own app every day. Let me tell you about it. :)

    nephele-serve is the dedicated server version that I use to manage all my Jellyfin movies and TV shows. I also back up all my systems to it with DejaDup.

    QuickDAV is the desktop app version that I use to transfer files around all of my way too many PCs, tablets, and phones (I develop mobile apps too, so I have a lot of devices). It’s easier (and usually faster) than using a USB stick, and it’s safer than leaving shares open all the time.

    They’re both open source and use the same server software, Nephele, that I wrote for my email service, Port87.

    Oh I’m also working on putting up a Docker image for nephele-serve and a Flatpak of QuickDAV.

        I’m not exactly sure what you mean, since Syncthing doesn’t do either of the things I was talking about.

        • Syncthing is for syncing files.
        • nephele-serve is for running a dedicated WebDAV server.
        • QuickDAV is for transferring files.

        Syncthing has its own use cases, they’re just not the ones I use these apps for.
