Running an instance per user seems entirely feasible for 4-5 people, but right now I’m only doing it for myself (and since we all have OneDrive at home, that is likely to be sufficient). To ensure I have full control in terms of folder isolation and networking configuration, I am running a dedicated SyncThing Docker container ( this one, with the usual linuxserver.io trimmings 1) under my Synology UID. Then I removed Dropbox from all my Macs, and installed SyncThing on the Synology–but not using the “standard” Synology SyncThing package. This freed up my iMac from doing the heavy lifting and made the migration effectively instant, although I did have to wait another couple of days for everything to propagate across (and every time I fired up another machine OneDrive spent a good while churning through the changes, which is one of its weak points). Like originally planned, I leveraged Synology’s Cloud Sync feature to migrate things across–I added Dropbox and OneDrive to my user account on my Synology DS1019+, waited a couple of days until it had downloaded everything, then moved files across inside my user account from one folder to the other. It’s been nearly two months now since I began the process of switching away from Dropbox and onto a combination of SyncThing and OneDrive and I’m overdue a status report of some kind, so here goes.
