Been using syncthing for a year now and works great for syncing between devices. But i miss file sharing with family members that nextcloud allowed me to do. Yet i left ut because it was too bloated and every update at the time broke my instalkation. Is there something a mature and specialised as syncthing but that allows sharing between accounts?

    Make a syncthing directory for each person you want to share with. For only a few people it’s really simple. I do this with a few different things. Each “share” can be setup with individuals or groups as you need.

      Yes, but when you try to share that folder with different users on the same device it gets complicated … each user needs its own instance and it feels messy and unecessatily complicated for the end user.

        On the same device? You don’t need anything. Just share that folder in the os. It

        … I know I am missing something here.
