      7   <a href="https://syncthing.net/">Syncthing</a> is a file synchronization program. It allows you to
      8   sync files between computers over LAN or the Internet. It is a very simple program that just gets
      9   the job done.</p>

     13   I use it to synchronize files between two computers and my phone. When synchronizing two
     14   computers, I find it to be a much faster—and smoother—approach than doing it with a USB, while
     15   mantaining my privacy and avoiding the exposure of private document to companies on the Internet.
     16   I also use it to back up a couple of folders from my phone, including my pictures. Every once in a
     17   while I will activate syncthing on my phone, it will sync everything with my computer and then I
     18   just exit it. It is fast and simple.</p>
