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 is not a cloud storage or tool for sharing. It can be used like this on a stretch, but it’s a continuous two-way synchronization tool.

    I portrait it like this: select a folder on one device, select a folder on second device, Syncthing would keep their content synced as if there were one folder :).
    This is in contrast to Nextcloud that needs central location and user, to rsync that is oneshot and not two-way.
