Is there a "one drive server" for "windows server"?
-
Hello all, I am thinking on getting a Windows server for our company to replace the NAS we work with. But we are super used to the sync tool (something like onedrive that works against our NAS and not the cloud). We can use GIT sometimes, but for all the cases in which the software we use can't cope with it, we use this and it's convenient and useful. If we ditch the NAS for a windows server though... Is there any tool that could keep everything in synch (like rsync but automatically and between multiple computers and in all directions)? Searching for onedrive server for windows server in the internet gives strange results... :D And my google fu is not working well today... Thank you all for your time and help.

OneDrive is really nothing more than a SharePoint Online document library. So the answer is no, there is no "onedrive server" for Windows Server.

Maybe you can use Syncthing or an alternative mentioned in the links.

It would be a sharepoint server + VPN + DynDNS then? Or sharepoint makes it all already? Thanks!

Not sure if this may be what you're looking for? [Set up OneDrive in a SharePoint Server on-premises environment - SharePoint Server | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/sites/set-up-onedrive-for-business) Otherwise, look at one of these: [https://alternativeto.net/software/microsoft-onedrive/?platform=self-hosted\](https://alternativeto.net/software/microsoft-onedrive/?platform=self-hosted)

Did you have a look to "nextcloud" AFAIK you can create your own closed cloud with it (IIRC free for private, pay for enterprises). The Rsync could be replaced with a windows task, a *.bat and robocopy I have made it for a while and it is pretty easy, if very big comparisons, it might get a bit slow, but there are ways to go over / around it with a couple tricks. And I did a small app in c# for a project where I searched for, zipped and moved files between directories and net-shares... just using .Net standard libs. If you want I could give you a bit more details.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Aside from backups/offline storage, all of my company's code/projects reside on a Windows server in shares. (currently on 2016) I have 2 computers in active use at the moment, a desktop and a laptop. Each system uses identical drive mappings to the project folders with one important difference...the mapped drives on the laptop are set to be available offline. For example yesterday I needed to work from a remote location with the laptop. I booted it up before leaving and let it synch that week's changes, shut it down, traveled to my destination, and had access to all my current stuff. Upon returning home, I started it up again and let it synch that day's changes back to the server. The Cons: 0: Some things like databases don't synch well (I use an external drive for those anyway) 1: Speed. Opening, compiling, and even debugging are always going to be slower over a network. (does not apply when working offline) 2: VS web projects don't always play nice when working offline. (seems to only affect VS 2015+) The Pros: 0: The laptop gets synched at least once a week. If the main drive in the server crashed, I've got a daily incremental stored on the other drive so I'd only be down < 1 day of changes. If both drives failed, then the laptop would still have last week's files. 1: Multiple roles - Besides being a file server, this box is also a public facing web server, ftp/sftp server, mail server, print server, database server, etc. The hardware with the exception of drives is all > 10 y/o, it only has 8 GB of memory, but it still performs well enough. 2: It's local and you own it! Also, you don't need a beast of a machine, or anything super expensive. I'm actually considering a laptop to replace the current server.
