Sync & Backup

Since pervane works with regular files, you can use any sync mechanism to sync your files with one of these:

  • Syncthing: my go-to self hosted syncing mechanism, too few impact on CPU
  • Dropbox: Not my favorite since it's 3rd party, unpredictable load on host CPU and battery life of the mobile phone.
    • You can go with headless dropbox, similar to syncthing, not so bad.
  • Google Drive: 3rd party. Their file stream is pretty cool, similar to headless dropbox. But no linux client yet :/
  • Microsoft OneDrive: 3rd party. I was using for my onenote sync. They are pretty good actually.
  • Nextcloud: Similar to dropbox but self hosted. I'm currently using this.
  • git: I use two way backup, regularly committing notes to a private git repo (bitbucket, gitlab etc) and also syncing with nextcloud.
    • I can have revisions and note versions for free by using this.

Since pervane works with files, you can sync your files with your favorite sync tool which can be let's say syncthing. You can easily use any markdown editor from the store and show your sync location for your edits.

For example I use this one to sync my notes to Dropbox and/or google drive: FolderSync

For iOS, there is no syncthing so I recommend going for something like nextcloud, google drive or dropbox etc option with an offline markdown editor.

eg. I really like this one for android: (Markor: Markdown Editor - todo.txt - Notes Offline) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.gsantner.markor
