Syncthing much more secure than Dropbox/Google drive for storing database

I've been using https://syncthing.net/ to store my mmex database. It's a free & open-source file sync program that is encrypted & does not save any copies of your files on any third party servers. It works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android & many NAS devices such as Synology. But not iOS.
It's a bit of a learning curve to get it up & running but well worth the effort. You can adjust whether file changes are synced or sent or received only and it also supports file versioning.
The biggest attraction for me is if someone hacks into your Dropbox or Google Drive account they can access your financial information. There is no possibility of this happening with Syncthing.
