Why FreeFileSync on TurboLayer?
Mainstream NAS products often use proprietary, "black-box" syncing tools. FreeFileSync offers ransparent, bit-level verification and complete control over how your data moves.
Whether you are mirroring a photography portfolio or syncing work documents across multiple machines, you get a visual side-by-side comparison before a single byte is moved.
By self-hosting this on TurboLayer, you avoid the "Walled Garden" of big-brand storage. You get unmatched flexibility: if you need a faster server, just move the USB stick to a newer laptop. No re-configuration required.
