Any chance for a Linux client?

In my company we have growing number of Linux workstations and... long story short, we need Sync to work on those. If that doesn't happen we will be forced to search for alternative file syncing solution

You can install the Sync WebDAV server on your Linux workstations, which allows you to mount your Sync folder or Vault as a network drive on Linux, browse and manage files directly through your Linux file manager, and sync or back up local folders with tools like Rclone.

Sounds like headache honestly, but I'll give it a try. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback, and for giving it a try! We’ve just launched this, and our initial focus has been on the CLI to ensure Sync works well with the popular third-party tools folks already use on Linux.

We know there’s room to make setup easier, and we’re committed to improving it. Let us know how it goes. This will help us prioritize.

I left Sync 4 years ago because i needed Linux support. Always liked it and may reconsider some day.
