I have two computers with Windows 10. Preferably the simplest option, so that at the other end people with minimal IT competence can figure it out

Sync by resilio. I use it between my computers and nas and between my computer and my vps and my nas and my vps, I also use it between my work and personal phone.

Resilio is really good, though I generally prefer Syncthing.

Resilio is hard on memory with larger folders.

I've never had an issue but then again I don't use it for much more than movies and TV. If sync thing supports qnap I might check it out but I've been using sync since it was launched (if not soon after).

ST started as a Linux app, does QNap support things like docker yet? (Been a while since I looked at them).

RS is a great tool - I wouldn't switch if it works for you.

It kills performance on my desktop because it keeps the index in ram for my media folder (10k files?). It's even worse on a phone. But I still say it's a great app, just with a slightly different use-case than ST. It's especially nice for it's On-demand sync.

I'm currently building a new file server, and RS will be included there, even with the performance issues for our phones. On-demand sync is hard to beat.
