I am attempted to wipe and reinstall my main laptop’s OS and as such put all of my files into Syncthing. However, I set the device as untrusted and am now struggling somewhat to decrypt the files.
If I am receiving files from an untrusted device, how can I decrypt the files? Is it possible for me to set myself as trusted?
Currently, no trusted device exists. However, I have the password memorized.
Thank you so much for your time and energy.
I immensely appreciate any support you may be able to give.
In this situation, on the “trusted” device (which is the default, so no need to set anything), you should be able to just add the folder as normal (i.e. Send & Receive or Receive Only) with the password defined, and Syncthing will decrypt the files on the fly.
