Watch out to enable "keep on delete" features. I didn't do that and didn't see that gigabytes of personal photos got deleted which I had to recover from an old backup. Still don't know how it happened as I only found out a few weeks after the fact.

Sync is not backup! If there's a software bug or a wrong setting sync can delete your files. Syncthing is pretty mature so I doubt this was a Syncthing bug, however you shouldn't only trust Syncthing. I'm doing btrfs snapshots weekly and delete them after three years for important folders nowadays.

That's what they want you to believe.
