• Self-Hosted: Complete control over your synchronized data
• Cross-Platform: Sync files across different operating systems
• Real-Time Sync: Automatic synchronization when files change
• Selective Sync: Choose which folders to synchronize
• Version Control: Keep track of file versions
• Encryption: Secure file transfers
• Web Interface: Monitor sync status from your browser
• Conflict Resolution: Automatic handling of sync conflicts
• Lightweight: Minimal resource requirements
