An open-source alternative to iCloud and Google Photos
TL;DR
A new open-source tool has been developed for high-performance, local-LAN incremental media synchronization from mobile devices to desktop systems. It supports both iOS and Android for mobile and macOS and Windows for desktop.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can implement this open-source tool to create customized media synchronization solutions tailored to user needs.
Key Takeaways
- Download and build Lynavo Drive from the GitHub repository.
- Sync media files automatically from mobile to desktop over LAN.
- Use QR codes for easy device pairing during setup.
- Contribute to the project by reporting bugs or suggesting features.
How It Works
Lynavo Drive utilizes mDNS for local device discovery, allowing mobile devices to find and pair with desktops on the same network. Once paired, the mobile app scans the photo library and automatically queues unsynced media for transfer.
The sync process is incremental, meaning only new or modified files are uploaded, and it supports resumable transfers to handle network interruptions.
