I need some help choosing a synchronisation programme for my small business (~15 people, in construction).

Our freelance IT technician who set up our OMV NAS has been hired by a large company and is no longer available, so as a partner who’s considered vaguely competent in IT I’m filling in for the time being. To be honest, I’m not actually competent.

I’m hesitating between FreeFileSync and Syncthing. I was thinking of using the former as I used it personnally a long time ago, but I’ve seen the latter mentioned on Lemmy.

The aim is to copy our data, which is stored in a commercial cloud, to our NAS running OMV. We’d do this via a Windows computer in the office where the cloud is always synced. The NAS is in my flat.

The copy would take place twice a week at predefined times.

Syncthing seems a bit overkill, but more modern than FreeFileSync.

If we choose Syncthing, we will make a donation equivalent to the cost of the FreeFileSync Pro licence.

Any advice to help me avoid any pitfalls in my attempt to set this up?
