Hi,
Me and my friends are currently producing music / mixing together and we all have massive playlists that we would like to share for our sessions. That being said, instead of bringing our personal external drives each time, I decided that it would be easier to just setup Syncthing and share the whole thing. However, I have about 100GB+ of content, and not only it would be really long to transfer, but two of my friends have a pretty lame internet plan and they would bust their monthly limit real quick. So, I was thinking of transferring my actual content physically to their computer (using my external hard drive), and then sync my folder. However, will Syncthing overwrite all the files already there (and hence bust their internet), or it will be smart enough to detect that the files are identical (by checking the metadata or something)? If not, what should I do?
TL;DR : I want to be able to start with base data before syncing. In other words, when you usually sync a folder, you have to choose a destination path and it will automatically download all the content into this folder. In my case, I want this destination folder to already have the data and hence skip the initial sync.
Thanks!
