QSyncthingTray

In the eventuality that you want to share files, but do not want to bother with creating accounts for various cloud services, then Syncthing is one option to consider. Not only does it use encrypted communication, but the highlight of the app is that it does not store data on neither the source nor the target machine.

QsyncthingTray is a light piece of software that enables you to configure Syncthing considerably faster, as it can detect the URL automatically and open the app in a separate window so that you can manage your files and folders effectively.

While Syncthing brings the convenience of not having to create accounts for cloud services, you should know that accessing the data entails pasting the URL in the web browser of your choice. The highlight of the program stems from the fact that you can access the files you want to share in a separate window directly from within the application.

The utility also enables you to pause Syncthing automatically when you are working with applications that require access to the Internet and that consumes a lot of bandwidth or system resources. Moreover, you can set the up to stop all activity whenever certain applications are running on your system.

The program allows you to view various data about Syncthing 's activity, namely the number of active connections, the download and upload speed, the name of the shared folders of the last files that have been synchronized.

It is worth mentioning that you can configure the app to provide you with notifications or animate the icon when activity is detected. Although the app supports HTTPS connections, you need to install OpenSSL to take advantage of this feature.

If you are using Syncthing as your primary service for sharing files and folders with users and across devices, then QsyncthingTray can help you manage connections as well as the data quicker and more conveniently.
