The fastest, smoothest way to transfer files to anyone, anywhere. Your files go straight from device to device - encrypted, with no accounts, tracking, ads, or cloud storage in between (dashbeam.net)

Dashbeam is more for occasional transfers, it seems. You want to send me something right now, you use Dashbeam.

Syncthing (which is great and I use) is more for background sync between devices. I use it to sync and backup my important documents automagically between my devices.

So, Syncthing is definitely great and you should use it, if it fits your usecase. I don't know about Dashbeam (in the sense of whether it actually works or not), but the usecase seems a little different.

Yes this seems like more of a LocalSend alternative, but with the added benefit of working over the internet so you don't have to be on the same network
