minus-square@counselwolf@lemmy.fmhy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year 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-squareslazer2aulinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year 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.
