Hey,

I want to be able to access my projects from my laptop and my desktop, without syncing build folders (patterns are okay for this) or large data folders (manually selected is preferable for those). A bonus would be to be able to selectively keep files remote to use less storage space.

I also want to sync some regular documents and class notes, but everything is able to do that at least.

Syncthing “works” for this, but it doesn’t have a web file browser or a “main” hoster, so I don’t think it’s quite the right tool.

I recently installed owncloud, and its desktop sync can almost do this, but it can’t keep files local without uploading them (otherwise it seems pretty good!). Seafile hasn’t worked at all for me, and ime nextcloud is decently painful and has way too many features I don’t need at all.

Am I using the wrong tool for the job? Is there a way to accomplish what I want to accomplish?
