Easy. Syncthing
I've used both syncthing and recently resilio. My Syno NAS has their own app Synology drive. All three have worked great for me.
Absolutely not selfhosted nor foss nor anything close to this sub's content but if money is not a problem, Protools has a collaborative feature that is pretty neat. You can all work on the same session at the same time and send tracks back and forth.
This or syncthing as everyone mentioned.
If your music come in form of files, use syncthing. Fast simple, cross platform.
Nextcloud maybe? Not specifically geared toward collaborative music recording, but maybe you could come up with a good workflow.
It's an interesting use case. I'd be curious to see what you (and/or others) come up with.
Thanks for the suggestion! It's the workflow part I'm worried about. 😄 I was kinda thinking a git would be perfect: different branches are different versions or styles of the song, versioning is taken care of, and probably other benefits I can't even dream of. But my friends won't be staging and committing. I also haven't done this in a while, so it'll be cool to see what others may know about.
There's a git plugin called "annex" which is geared towards working with binary files. I use it for photography as a way to "checkout" and remove photos locally while keeping them all in git on a server.
It's a little complicated to use though. But I believe it could do branching/versioning.
Do you want the files to be automatically shared? Like there's a folder on both your computers that's synced
If so, syncthing is the way to go.
Syncthing was mentioned, but I would think something that doesn't auto sync to everyone would be better. Nextcloud or really any kind of central storage would let people who need a given part selectivley pull what they want and give a bit of flexibility for each to store things in a folder structure they like.
Ooh. Finally something I know a good deal about.
I’m a mastering engineer and sync files with folks all over the world.
I have been using this really great app for the past few years: SAMPLY
https://samply.app/ Let’s all collaborators upload files and comments by timestamp are excellent. Works on a potato.
Also, for general big file swaps, The 2 most easily obtained by the majority of people in my experience are Dropbox and Google drive.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions! This morning I came across this music-centered awesome list and thought I'd share it.
