minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years agoNew to Syncthing and have been using it to sync between my 2 android devices. Is it possible to sync the same folder to a PC as well?
minus-square@Matth78linkEnglish6•2 years agoAs far as I know there is no limit on the number of devices you can sync. So yes it is possible to sync a folder on multiple devices and not only 2.
minus-squareslazer2aulinkEnglish6•2 years agoI can confirm this is possible. In the past I had a folder synced between my android phone, android tablet, and windows PC. The only issue is you need a full mesh sync unless I set something up wrong.

minus-square@OtakuAltairlinkEnglish1•2 years agoLiterally just set it up today for Obsidian, works like a charm.
minus-square@SpendiesOPlinkEnglish1•2 years agoThanks! I got SyncThing setup and it’s doing exactly what I was hoping for.
Syncthing. Easy to use, easy to understand.
