#2Since I started using Syncthing, I have found many cases of "just make a new folder and share it with selection of other devices" and now, that I am running it on a server, it is also always online, ready to share with any device that comes online. It is just so neat and handy!

#4I had to stop using it after loads of conflict files piled up over the years in my notes folder.
I'm trying to switch to WebDAV for notes. Considering Caddy+WebDAV[0] or Peergos[1] or SeaweedFS[2], but not Next/OwnCloud.
Is still consider using Syncthing for other files types.

I've had to reset it multiple times due to the same sort of issue. There doesn't seem to be a good way to resolve conflicts; at least, none that reliably works.

Conflict files are good. It means you changed the same file in multiple locations and Syncthing didn't overwrite or delete any of them.
Much like forest fires, only you can prevent conflict files.

#7Syncthing is a wonderful open source project that I thoroughly enjoyed using when my mobile device was on Android. Everything I needed was synced, all the time. Great performance, too. And it was really easy to set up syncing of a particular folder with random people for various projects.
I switched to an iPhone for greater privacy, and was crushed to find Syncthing doesn't support iOS.
I see that 5-6 years later they still don't. Sad, given the iPhone has a majority market share in the US (60%).
I use Nextcloud and it's....okay. There's some weirdness where files I've specified should be always available somehow aren't, but luckily the keepass client keeps an internal/backup copy and is smart enough to open that.
iCloud is just...a rolling dumpster fire. And easily the most frustrating thing about it is that there's no way to set up an iPhone without it immediately trying to sync everything to iCloud, like say, your iMessage encryption keys...

Nah. They're not alone. For me, syncthing would just randomly decide an updated file conflicted; I had two computers and a smartphone and was pretty careful about this stuff.
It was its only fault - but it was easier to figure out what the actual most-current file was.
Nextcloud does the same thing occasionally, and it's not intuitive at all trying to figure out which one is the proper one to keep.

SyncThing is still still _loads_ better than Next/Own-Cloud unless you also need the extra baggage those two bring.
Having said that, "conflict-sync" files are my current issue.
I have several devices that sync to a local central device and a remote central device and I'm struggling to determine if the "conflicts" that are _not_ conflicts are because of this "dual-honed" approach or not.
