I have been using BTSync/Resilio to distribute free software to language development workers, using read-only keys.
Some recipients are entities that should pay to use Resilio.
Someone has suggested that I also enable Syncthing for these entities to use, so they can sync the same software installers to their computers.
So my question is: Can I share 18 separate folders of files with Syncthing as well as with BTSync/Resilio?
Most recipients would continue to use BTSync or Resilio to receive updates, because they are easier to set up. A few would change to using Syncthing to receive updates to avoid paying for Resilio.
In other words, would BTSync/Resilio and Syncthing tread on each other’s toes by modifying files in the folders being distributed?
I don’t know Resilio, so they might do funky things I am not aware of. In general there would be one thing you should look out for: Temporary files. But as your node can be send-only, you should never have any temporary files. Nevertheless, if Resilio has the option to exclude certain files, you probably should just for good measure. And obviously the same goes vice-versa: If Resilio uses temporary files, exclude them on Syncthing.
Other than that, I can’t think of any potential major problems. After all Syncthing is just another program reading those files.
