Small family farm office set up. We have crappy internet and a lot of data. I’ve had a little linux box running owncloud for a long time but our needs grew a bit and I’ve been baffled that I can’t find something that “just works”. I don’t think I’m asking for a whole lot.
What I need:
-
Data stored on our server
-
Support a few users, with shared folders (I don’t need anything fine-grained here at all)
-
Ability to actually truly sync with an android phone (as in, an entire folder is actually kept in sync, and the files are visible to applications that aren’t the sync client, just like on a desktop)
-
Ability to view files from an android phone (as in, I don’t have to sync the whole folder just to pull up a file)
-
Syncs not just over LAN, but over WAN as well (we have a static IP and a domain)
Bonus points if the files are stored “plainly” on the server-side so other apps (like navidrome) can access them.
What I’ve tried:
-
owncloud and owncloud infinite scale (doesn’t meet #3, also ocis sync keeps logging out on desktops)
-
syncthing (doesn’t meet #4 & #5)
-
seafile (I thought this met #3 but it doesn’t actually)
Can anyone advise an application (or even a combination therein) that would fill my need?
