Hi.
Just installed and tried Syncthing after hating most everything else. Have it working but can’t work out one thing.
I really want my source and destination folders to be mirrors. So when I sync, any files in the destination should be deleted if they do not match fully the source file locations. (I will have deleted them from the source folder or I will have moved them, in which latter case, the sync will have already copied their files in a new location to a mirror location, making the old location files redundant).
So how do I make sure unmatched destination files are deleted? (In case it matters, I’m syncing between 2 laptops on a simple home network.)
What do you mean exactly by “unmatched destination files”?
Syncthing will normally synchronise any changes, including deletions, that take place in a pair of folders, unless the folders are set to “Receive Only” or “Send Only”. In that case a manual intervention may be required.
Basically, if you have a set of “Send and Receive” folders, the two will be a mirror of one another by default.
