So if you accidentally delete a file, this change will propagate very quickly. This is the exact reason why, after evaluating syncthing for myself, I stayed with unison to sync my zoo of devices. Unison is triggered and used manually. If I deleted something by accident, I have all the time I need to fetch it from another machine (rather than from a backup, which is usually too old, as usual). While unison only ever syncs one directory within one profile, I can sync a number of separate and independent directories at once by using symlinks in the profile’s base directory and tell unison to follow symlinks only on the first level. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Bitte nichts von mir oder über mich auf einem sozialen Netzwerk hochladen.
