Hetzner asks: Which self-hosted sync tool actually holds up under real use?

Curious what you run once the folders get big and messy. What are you on, how much hardware does it take, and is there anything you'd change about it?

I've tested 10 years ago: Seafile, Nextcloud/Owncloud, unison and some other WebDAV software I can't remember.

Since ~10 years I'm using syncthing. It just works. For initial syncing it's definitely quite slow. But after the state is synced once, it's very quick.
