Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any decent alternative.
Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any decent alternative. SMB is a nightmare to set up if your host isn’t running Windows. sshfs is actually pretty good but it’s not exactly ubiquitous. Plus it has its own quirks and performs slower. So it really doesn’t feel like an upgrade. Everything else I know of is either proprietary, or hard to set up. Or both. These days everything has gone more cloud-oriented. Eg Dropbox et al. And I don’t want to sync with a cloud server just to sync between two local machines.
