Hi Tom
How to make the most of currently scarce internet access? How to keep meta information about the directories and files on the drives of different machines--but not the actual files--on a USB stick and then use the same USB stick to sync content between different computers?
I'm not completely sure what you are describing here. Sounds like a complicated approach but I may be misunderstanding. I would focus on either rsync or syncthing https://syncthing.net
Mostly I'm concerned with housekeeping, keeping growing directories of podcasts and youtube videos organized (maybe 300 or 400 GB?). I also scrape websites and download a lot of pages.
You will need to do this yourself. There is no automagic tool to organize your files for you..
