I have two external hard drives for my media, one to hold all of my downloads, & the second attached to an Nvidia Shield TV which I use as a Plex server. Since getting Plex setup there, I’ve been looking for a way to keep both drives up-to-date so that I don’t have to manually copy files to each drive when I download. I’ve been trying to get rsync running on the Shield, but then remembered Syncthing. Because of the amount of data, the initial check is going to take a few days, but I’m hoping this will be a good way to keep the drives updated.

I’ll have a follow up post to discuss how I actually got it setup (assuming it works) once the initial check is done.
