Frequently asked questions
Syncthing is designed to be lightweight and runs on a wide range of hardware, so it has minimal system requirements. The specific needs largely depend on the amount of data being synced, the number of devices, and expected performance.
Platform: Extremely broad compatibility. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and various BSD and illumos platforms, supporting architectures like x86/x64, ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC.
CPU: Low when idle. CPU usage increases during file hashing and active syncing (especially with large or many small files), but is generally negligible on modern CPUs.
RAM: Typically low for basic use. Average memory usage reported is around 18 MiB to 200 MiB. The exact usage depends on the number of files and folders being indexed and synced. For highly complex setups, it is advisable to have more available RAM.
Storage: Requires disk space for the Syncthing configuration files and the database index, which holds metadata and file hashes. This is generally small, but you may need about 2 GB HDD minimum for minimal Windows operation.
