How is Google Drive "way more secure" than a peer-to-peer encrypted solution?

Most of us do not have IDS/IPS/DLP tooling in our home networks, nor do we have a 24/7 on-call SOC team monitoring their SIEMs dashboards.

Google and Microsoft provision this stuff, even for consumers, with secure authentication and good protections.

  • Syncthing is peer to peer, the files are already on the device. There's no way requiring one more device to be secure (the server) is better than not requiring it.

  • It uses STUN/TURN so your first point is irrelevant.

    I don't understand the second. Are you saying Syncthing is less secure?
