In reading some of the threads, it seems the best solution to avoid future sync issues is to use Bonjour, or maybe even WebDAV sync via Synology. I’ve never used WebDAV, but I do have my Synology running 24/7 (for Plex mostly). Is WebDAV difficult for an ‘average user’ to implement and have it accessible outside the home, and if not too bad, how reliable is it? Could I potentially run into sync issues as well with WebDAV in which case maybe Bonjour is perhaps the most bulletproof sync solution? I haven’t used Bonjour in several years because iCloud/Dropbox was supposed to be the cat’s meow (that was my takeaway anyway at the time). Regarding Dropbox, I really don’t want to pay for yet another subscription to increase my space, so I don’t really want to consider it (I pay Apple enough money and would love to just use their built-in solutions that I already pay for and should just work - come on, Apple).
The reason I love a cloud sync solution is because I interchangeably use my iPhone and iPad when away from home … so it’s nice that they sync up automatically as I’m switching devices depending on what I’m doing, and then they all sync up at home when I open DT on the mac. I appreciate any advice! Thanks.
