Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

Similar in function to google drive or onedrive or other cloud sync services but everything is kept local, more performant, and non-intrusive. Each device keeps your chosen synced folders up to date with other devices. You choose what is synced with each device on a foldee-by-folder basis.

I use it to sync my password manager database (keepass) and my notes app, among other things. So all my devices have the password database up to date and i can use the same password manager accross them.

It also provides version control optionally. I use obsidian for notes so if i screw up i can revert to the prwvious revision as a complex 'undo' option.

Works on major platforms including android, Linux, windows, and i assume apple stuff.

Awesome. I wonder if I can incorporate OneDrive easily. I'm on a family plan and have 1 TB of storage. Maybe there's a way to upload stuff to OneDrive without the garbage of OneDrive.

Hmm. No it won't work like that. It only syncs between devices. But i suppose you could have a dedicated device sitting in a closet or whatever which only handles a cloud sync service to which you could use synching with the one drive folders. That would minimize the suffering of having to deal with the broken interface of onedruve/google sync.

Yeah exactly. The Drive Sync hasn't been too bad but OneDrive app is much more limited and I'm afraid to use it because it's so flaky. Especially on non-Windows.
