I’ve been running syncthing for a couple of years now and it does what it says on the tin quite well. One thing I’m missing is the ability to share files (e.g. a common Keepass database between myself and my wife) and maintain these synced. It appears that File Browser Quantum may support me here although I’m not sure I understand how. A.t.m., I have a folder on my laptop that is shared with a server and the server shares it to my mobile and my wife’s mobile. But if I try to share that folder with my wife’s account on my laptop (Debian), things get complicated. So maybe what I should do is use the folder on my laptop (my account) as the root folder for FBQ and then let FBQ sync it with my wifes devices and accounts? Just a bit worried that if I let both Syncthing and FBQ operate on the same folder, I may get conflicts arising. Anyone have similar use cases and what to share their experience? I’ve read of people using both these tools effectively.
There is no easy solution to this for your case, because you want versioning, not syncing. Versioning is what makes collaboration on google docs or o365 possible, with some merge logic to bring together non-colliding changes. Syncthing cannot do that beyond the granularity of individual files.
Syncthing works well when one of the sync members holds the “true” copy and everyone accepts changes one at a time.
