Backup of Images / Android - Windows PC

Support
1

I am not sure how to do sync the content of my image with my PC. There is one image folder on my Smartphone (Graphene OS) as source. Another folder on my PC (Windows 11) as a target.

The syncthing Windows client shows windows as a device. The syncthing Windows client shows smartphone as a device.

And some folders but all of them to be shared with the phone, none with phone and pc.

Would be happy about any hints

I am wondering why the syncthing Windows client doesn’t show any shareing inf with the smartphone, not with my PC.

I assume that you’re using https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android and not the discontinued official application. Is this correct?

If you don’t see app notifications about the shared folders on Android, please check the Web GUI (available via the left slide-out menu in the app).

Just for the record, please keep in mind that Syncthing is not backup software, and if you treat it as such without taking additional steps (e.g. enabling at least file versioning), it’s likely going to have bad consequences at some point.
