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

Magic 😃
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.

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