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.
My solution would be to have a sync-thinged folder, then, using filebrowser, create users for everyone you want to have access, and limit their access to that specific directory. Then your syncthing works like always, and the current directory is available online at anytime. It would be up to you whether to allow read/write/delete privileges on the firebrowser accounts. This way, whatever syncthing can’t work with, there’s still online access. Cloudflared access would be another good layer of protection.
I don’t foresee any conflicts other than the delay of your syncthing folder on your phone updating the one on the FBQ server. The server will show whatever is in that directory - it doesn’t really care how it got there.
