I’d like to sync my markdown notes between devices (laptop and phone), which service is better: Nextcloud or Syncthing? Any other important idea I should know?, like latency times, or maximum number of synced devices, what if I edit the same note from both places without internet and then both get connected to a network… For example, I know Nextcloud let me have a history of the notes.
Nextcloud isn’t a backup solution, so I wouldn’t go that route.
For backups look at Restic, Kopia, or Borg. They work great and are very lightweight.
Why do you think that Nextcloud is not a good backup solution?
I had some files which rot away over the years, who knows which update borked them, i use it as a cache for real backups for important files
