Folder created at read only sd-card?

[imk82 (Robert)]

Hi all,

I ecperienced a behavior what I don’t understand:

• Syncthing cannot write to the sd-card outside its app folder
• I want to share my camera folder, so I created a send only Folder pointing to it
• Syncthing creates the .stfolder

How is this possible?

Best regards and thanks Robert

That was a recent improvement by @Catfriend1: The app/wrapper creates .stfolder, thus Syncthing itself doesn’t need to write anything, thus making it possible to create a send-only share.

Correct. Good explanation

@Catfriend1 Nice idea, thanks. (I’m going to add some send-only folders now.)
