Hi all! My friends and I are hoping to continue writing and recording music though we live very far apart now. We all use MacBooks for recording tracks, and I was curious if anyone has a good way to share/sync our recordings with each other.

Years ago I used Resilio Sync without much fuss, though I’d lean more towards Syncthing now. I have a always-on and internet-connected home Linux server. Thanks for any suggestions!

Edit: I forgot to mention my buddies are not techy types, so ease-of-use on their end is an important feature.

    Absolutely not selfhosted nor foss nor anything close to this sub’s content but if money is not a problem, Protools has a collaborative feature that is pretty neat. You can all work on the same session at the same time and send tracks back and forth.

    This or syncthing as everyone mentioned.

    Ooh. Finally something I know a good deal about.

    I’m a mastering engineer and sync files with folks all over the world.

    I have been using this really great app for the past few years: SAMPLY

    https://samply.app/ Let’s all collaborators upload files and comments by timestamp are excellent. Works on a potato.

    Also, for general big file swaps, The 2 most easily obtained by the majority of people in my experience are Dropbox and Google drive.
