I have also been looking for a sync alternative to Goodsync and tested Duplicati. I found out that Duplicati only serves as a backup tool, it doesn't create normal accessible files in the destination location. In the FAQ on the Duplicati-site they confirm this:

Q: Can Duplicati store plain files instead of inside compressed folders?
A: No. Duplicati is a backup tool, not a file sync tool. If you simply sync your files, you need to be certain that the system that you are storing the files on can handle the same as your local files. For example you cannot store data from a case-sensitive filesystem on a server with a case-insensitive file system.
You also need a server-side handler that can update the remote files, otherwise you need to transfer complete files every time something changes. Duplicati is designed so it does not require any code installed on the remote machine.
If you store plain files on the server, you loose confidentiality as all filenames and file sizes are readable.
However, if this is what you want, you can search for "file mirror tool" or "file sync tool". Some open source projects that look interesting: Rclone, SparkleShare, Mirall, OwnCloud, cSync, S3 File Sync. There are many commercial solutions as well.

Ah, that's unfortunate. I agree with you that Goodsync should have given their customers a warning.

I am using TransIP, a Dutch provider which has a free cloud storage named Stack (with 1TB of space). Haven't had any problems with it.

Yes, I use Webdav for cloud storage.

When I try to install the Goodsync plugin, I get an error, see attached text: Goodsync error.txt. Any ideas?
I am using OMV version 3.0.96.

Thanks! Was looking in the wrong folder ......not used to linux/debian filesystems...

I would like to use Duplicati to backup my data to an external webdav location. I can configure the backup destination in Duplicati succesfully, but I can't seem to select my shared folders as source. What am I doing wrong?
I have several shared folders which are access-restricted to 2 users. I have SMB/CIFS running for these folders (no guest access). Do I need to assign access rights to Duplicati somehow?

I recently added a Powercom BNT-600AP UPS to my Openmediavault server and now I would like to use the NUT plugin. But I can't get the serial (RS232) communication to work!
Does anyone know the right driver settings for this UPS? I can't figure it out, none of the settings seem to work. I couldn't find (google) an exact match, so I tested a few near matches. All I get is 'data stale' and 'check driver' in the UPS logs.
