Hi,
Recently I finished a build of my first FreeNAS, so now I'm trying to configure it and I need your help/advise.
My use case
Devices: home FreeNAS server, 1 PC (Windows), 2 laptops (Windows and Mac), 1 tablet-laptop (Windows), 3 smartphones, TV, backup server (old WD NAS).
Users: 2 people.
Scenario: I'd like to have a SMB folder that will be syncronized between 1 PC (Windows) <-> 1 laptop (Mac) <-> 1 tablet-laptop (Windows). Second laptop (Windows) needs only read access through SMB (it's a reason of SMB folder).
I tried to install and configure "Syncthing" plugin, but this application doesn't really support a syncronization on top of SMB folder + Windows clients. I think it works great with Linux, but it's a crap on Windows, client is awful.
I read that the Resilio Sync app could be better, but I saw a few posts with similar issues for syncronization on SMB folder.
Also I installed and briefly reviewed NextCloud - it looks great, but as I understood it's impossible to configure it on top of SMB folder, am I right?
So my question, does anyone use any application for simple syncronization (would be enough only local sync) on top of SMB folder between Windows/Mac clients?
I'm looking for positive/negative experience, any experience would help.
Thank you in advance.
