in reply to Nanook • • •For my culture I had tested Waypipe. It worked very well but in practice I never needed it like I never needed network transparency’s X11. Or are you talking about other things?

I currently use syncthing and an always on Windows box to share select parts of Google Drive to my linux machines, and it works well, but isn't an ideal solution.
