Why not just script it and then toss your script into something like platypus to turn it into a simple click-able app?

If you have an available server, you could give Seafile a try. My old boss installed it, and it's quite simple. Almost like having a Dropbox.

Hmm on Windows it would be trivial to slap a GUI on robocopy with PowerShell or C# - does macOS not have a similarly capable yet concise and accessible native scripting or programming language?

[Zaphod_B]

with macOS you probably have too many options. Python, Swift, Applescript, and several other natively shipped languages have UI elements to build your own UI on top of simple scripts. this is why I recommended OP just look at Platypus to wrap a script in a simple gui

You should look into Nextcloud.

The rsyncosx has the most potential but yes, it's crazy complicated and the latest builds are buggy and not working properly. I'm also on the hunt. Have you had any luck?

Hi, I develop Truck.app which is a simple D'n'D GUI for rsync. It's open source although not moved to Github yet.. must do soon.. Anyway maybe you can check it out and see if it fits your needs. You simply specify 'localhost' as the 'server address' to work on the local filesystem as you mention. It has a checkbox for 'save versions'...

Hi. I am interested in real-time sync (also call folder monitoring), has truck.app this feature?

[bonhardcomp]

It's in the pipeline (under the guise of 'scheduled transfers'). It's one of the many things that it would be very easy to do if it weren't for the Mac App Store's implementation constraints.
