Advice on using syncing with 3 computers

[pleiades]

Ola!

I would like to ask for some advice on properly syncing 3 computers,

The 3 computers:

1. Home PC (A)
2. Work PC (B)
3. NAS (C)

I’ve bought a used synology nas (C) for the purpose of syncing files remotely.

I was able to accomplish this using Dropbox style sync in which I sync files from the NAS (C) which acts like a Dropbox Server for Home PC (A) and Work PC (B)

There is no link between (A) and (B)

(B) ↔ (C) ↔ (A)

Is this the syncthing way?

Or Should I create a link between (A) and (B)?

I’m a bit hesistant to link the (A) and (B) because I have bad internet connection here. There would be times I have no internet connection and so cannot remotely sync, I need to bring the Work PC at home to sync with the NAS. My concern is that if connect the 3 computer, and I was not able to sync with the NAS fully and the Work pc sync with the Home PC then there would be problems.

I’ve read some thread regarding this, but I just want to be sure.

Syncing between 3 computers or more

Hello. I would like ask confirmation of what I believe I understood about using Syncthing to synchronize a folder between 3 computers or more. Syncing between 3 computers (A,B,C) ‘triangularly’ (i.e. simultaneously A with B, B with C, C with A) is not possible : it is only possible to sync in a ‘star-diagram’ (i.e. A with B and A with C but not B with C). Right ?

TIA!

As long as they’re connected to each other somehow (i.e., b-c-a) things will work. It’s not necessary to also connect b to a unless you want data to flow directly between those devices.

Thank you calmh! I will stick with my current setup for now.

I use this kind of setup for my personal needs regularly.
