From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Syncthing is available to download to any pc, phone or via docker container.. It doesn't come witj OMV but you can add it via docker command line or Portainer GUI. you assign which folder you want sync'd , it gives it a unique hash ID, on other devices you enter the ID, or search for synthing host. It then connects and will prompt on host to allow/ disaaloe sync to certain devices. Any new files on either end are replicated. You can see rules on if one is read only, and what you want to do with version changes. i.e. on my PI it acts a master (which is not the correct term) and if changes via other devices populating to the PI then it folderizes old versions of files so that a mistake change that was saved on my phone and replicated to the PI doesn't remove the original totally. (Good backups periodically could also solve this)
