Just installed Syncthing on my Scale server. It looks like it doesn’t have users but rather folder IDs that are then used to sync devices. One of the cool features of Nextcloud is the ability to share files with other users. Can this be done with Syncthing?
Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn’t have any concept of users since it’s not designed for that.
You want Nextcloud or similar ‘google drive’ replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.
Personally, I’d really like if it could have different users on its management interface, with their own file shares.
It’s understandable why they don’t bother, but I would like to share my NAS without running several instances.
Then you need NextCloud, not Syncthing.
Run NextCloud on your NAS and you’ll be set.
Hum, no. The last thing I need on the world is a piece of non-working hard to maintain software.
I’d write something before trying Nextcloud again.
Nextcloud works just fine on my system, must be something with the way you set stuff up.
