What options did you not have with the own/Nextloud ?

I saw that *Syncthing* uses this method to recognize devices. Is it 
safer than Nextcloud approach ? (so it seems at least)

The "other means" provided from *Syncthing* or do you mean independent 
software that you can use in any approach ?

Do you mean offline? Only with local/internal access ?

What exactly do you mean; could you please be more detailed?
Syncthing also uses *central* storage from all workplaces with backup 
strategies ?

Why do this ?
Do you use highly secure open source software and then give access to 
your data to services like dropbox ??? :-o

I actually want to use *Syncthing* for a long time (since I first read 
about it, enthusiastic about the security and approach it offers) but 
just because of the *Nextcloud* I have not come to the need if I do. And 
that is the truth to be honest.
