Makes me wonder how the relays handshake with each other... What kind of file syncing were you thinking? Collaboration type deal or a repo that is up to date? I'm almost positive you could use Nostr to list and link to files on a synced drive/folder... but as to whether the Nostr protocol itself would become a place to dump files... not likely. (I think!)

I dont know what the right feature set is for Nostr and Storage/File sync. But have I recently started using Syncthing for small files like keepass database, podcast OPMLs and Contact VCF files and other small but sensitive bits like that. It would be cool to have access to these just via my Nostr keys and some relays. Seems like these kinds of files would be small and mostly encrypted text anyway?

Yeah, I think the actual content of a nostr note is tiny tiny tiny. Like 6-7 lines or something. Although I'll have to figure out how long form text is kept like @YakiHonne , @Habla News does. I'm probably way off 😅 My thinking that alot of nostr is pointing the recipient of the note towards already hosted content like images, videos etc. I think a NIP could be made or maybe already exists which encrypts small crucial files but if everyone signed up for a nostr keepass setup I think all the relays would have to take it up a notch in security as well as hdd space and redundancy.. just thinking aloud!
