I was configuring syncthing and I don’t know if it would be better to sync specific files that I need or just sync the whole android storage into a folder in my computer so that I can modify anything from it. What do you sync between linux and android?

    I sync my journal.txt, ToDo.txt, ebooks, alot of notes. So mostly just light text documents.

    Also, it is an easy way for me to share anything between PC-android

    A self hosted Nextcloud for contacts, calendar and photos, but Syncthing work fine for files as well.

    The things I keep in my main sync folder are text docs, a todo.txt, a keepass store… basically eveything small.

    I also sync my downloads folder, for things like ebooks, audiobooks, etc. Also the Pictures folder, saving memes in one place and being able to see them from anywhere. I wouldn’t sync the entire android storage, that would be useless to any linux machine.

      Love syncthing so much. Also hightly recommend syncthing-fork on android, as you can schedule it to only sync once per hour and save battery.

    I used it to sync Pictures when not using a cloud with auto photo upload. And a documents folder with stuff I need synced between devices. And a random folder for some things I wanted on my phone vice versa.

    I sync my music folder, my documents, my password database, and my photos. Just those 4 folders.

    I just sync a Backup folder using Syncthing, that way I know that the stuff I care about has a copy on my systems. The pictures are stored in the cloud using Google Photos.

    I sync backups, books, and DCIM, though the last is send only. I’m playing with the idea of syncing the better part of the user directory though…
