Maybe this might work for you: [GitHub - syncthing/syncthing-inotify: File watcher intended for use with Syncthing (Linux, BSD, Windows, OSX)](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-inotify)

for inotify, there are some file limits, maybe you can see here: [Help with inotify](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/help-with-inotify/2030)

Syncthing-gtk will work on windows, too.

An windows-only alternative is [SyncTrayzor](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/synctrayzor-windows-host-for-syncthing-installer-auto-start-built-in-browser-tray-icon-folder-watcher-and-more/2011).
