Default Do you have an existing working automatic sync setup for all your devices on your home LAN?

This old article shows how to auto sync iOS/Android automatically:
o But it requires a "Windows Live" account, which seems unnecessary to me

I should be clear that any autosync solution must work on the private LAN.
And it can't use banned software which appear to be prevalent on the net.

This article uses Cheetah Software, where, unfortunately, I don't trust
them based on the latest news of spyware from that company:

Looking at the play store link, it seems Google removed them perhaps:

Since nobody has a solution proposed yet for automatic sync, I'll assume
I'm being a pioneer of sorts, where my first approach will likely be to
explore some kind of "rsync" solution ...

This requires a purchase, which negates this rsync as a general solution:
o Rsync on an Android phone

I'll solve this problem, but it would be nice if I'm not the first person
to solve it where the general solution requires
o Freeware that anyone can install to test & use
o Windows sync over the private lan (i.e., no Internet required)
o Automation so that it's automatic over USB and/or Wi-Fi
o Syncs to all common consumer devices (Windows, Linux, Android, & iOS)
