 +There have been considered 3 different levels of access as described by the applications used:
 +  *Nextcloud - a full privately hosted publicly accessible file shareing application, with many additional features
 +  *Syncthing - A files synchronising system
 +  *Unison - A files synchronising system
 +  *Privatebin - An encrypted file publicly accessible file sharing server
 +  *inotify - A Linux application to provide notification with a file has changed

 =====Nextcloud===== =====Nextcloud=====
 +Nextcloud is an open source content collaboration platform.  At its core is file-sharing, but it has many other core functions as well as extensibility with additional installed applications.  While Nextcloud can securely share files it is not focused as a **simple**, public, and secure file-sharing platform.

 [[https://nextcloud.com/|Nextcloud]] and [[https://owncloud.com/|Owncloud]] has build in file sharing.  However these platforms provided many other functions and hence setup and basic file sharing is more complex than simply file sharing only applications.  They also do not necessarily have the same basic functionality as simple file share applications. [[https://nextcloud.com/|Nextcloud]] and [[https://owncloud.com/|Owncloud]] has build in file sharing.  However these platforms provided many other functions and hence setup and basic file sharing is more complex than simply file sharing only applications.  They also do not necessarily have the same basic functionality as simple file share applications.

 Syncthing is a **free and open source** peer-to-peer file synchronization application available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and BSD. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet. Data security and data safety are built into its design. Version 1.0 was released in January 2019 after five years in beta. Syncthing is a **free and open source** peer-to-peer file synchronization application available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and BSD.

 +The following is a systemd service file that can be used to start the syncthing service.  It is taken from https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases and based upon the user specific type.  So create a new systemd service, ''/lib/systemd/system/syncthing@.service''
