I'm in Africa and we have both a slow and expensive bandwidth (illimited plans are very rare). In addition, in a climate change perspective, it would be useful to limit bandwidth usage over large distances to save energy. In order to optimize this, we'd like to have the ability to sync over a LAN both with the server if it's on the LAN, and especially with other clients on the same LAN, who have already synced.
Hello,
I'm in Africa and we have both a slow and expensive bandwidth (illimited plans are very rare). In addition, in a climate change perspective, it would be useful to limit bandwidth usage over large distances to save energy. In order to optimize this, we'd like to have the ability to sync over a LAN
both with the server if it's on the LAN, and especiallywith other clients on the same LAN, who have already synced.It is a cool and efficient existing Dropbox feature (https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/lan-sync-overview). And a lot of discussions have already started, both on owncloud and Nextcloud, but it looks like there's no activity anymore for years (https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/7092, https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/8331, https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/230).
Would it be possible to consider this feature? Thank you!
