  • Versioning is a whole other topic ofc, but just for syncing i dont quite get what the issue is?

    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.

    This should be perfectly doable with your current syncthing-only setup no?

    Or do you mean “share” as in to other people beside you and your wife by means of a public link?

    Then you could do what i do and have your server run both syncthing and the web-cloud (whichever you choose) on the same folder. As long as you dont access the same file at the same time it should be fine and even if you do, syncthing will just keep a copy of the conflicting file and name it “.conflict_date…”. You might want to define an ignore pattern on the syncthing side though so it doesnt sync all the cloud specific metadata files to your personal devices.



  • Im having a hard time understanding the constellation of your current setup. From what i understand you have:

    • You and your wifes phones
    • A shared laptop with two accounts
    • A server running FBQ and or syncthing?

    The way i see it you could just use syncthing for all of these, no need for FBQ.
    If you need FBQ though i dont think having a single folder synced by both FBQ and syncthing will cause any issues as long as they arent acting in parallel.

    So device1 <syncthing> device2 <FBQ> device3 should be fine,
    but device1 <syncthing> device2 <FBQ + syncthing> device3 might cause issues in my experience with doing the same with nextcloud.

    I have a setup where i use a nextcloud server that keeps file version history. Then i have a laptop that is connected to the server through nextcloud. That laptop then syncs that same nextcloud connected folder through syncthing to like ~10 other laptops. So basically all the laptops talk to each other to stay in sync through syncthing and then one of those laptops also uses the nextcloud app to sync this syncthing cluster to a nextcloud server for version control.
