What do you do for file syncing, if you don't mind me asking
Syncthing and I have it partitioned with:
So that I can decide what to sync to which device.Music is for example too big to sync to my Phone so I don't. Family documents I also share with my partner. Password DB I sync with all my devices but not to anyone else.
I use syncthing between my desktop and laptop for syncing all my documents, development environments and so on. Works well.
But how well does it work for sharing with someone else? E.g. it would be great to find a solution where myself and my partner could share notes and shopping lists which we can both edit. We use Google keep currently but I'm currently testing out solutions to de-google our lives. Nextcloud seemed like a good idea as it has docs and things but I've not found it very good to be honest. Especially syncing on a mobile. I've been using obsidian recently for my notes and it works well between laptop and desktop with the nextcloud app but I have to keep going into nextcloud on android to force it to sync or pick up new files. I'm just about to see how syncthing works for that but back to my original question..can you reliably have two people editing things with syncthing?
In the end it's just another devise. But we are not changing the same document at the same time, that would lead to many sync conflicts I imagine. For that some special protocol for concurent Editing would be better.
