How to File Verson a Subfolder of a Synched Directory

[Renegade1835]

I just started using Syncthing to backup files onto a NAS I recently built. Getting directories to sync is easy enough but I want one sub-folder in a synced directory to have a file version setup different from its parent directory.

for example. What if I want this path to have Trash Can File Versioning

C:\Users\Jimbob\Documents\

but this path to have Simple File Versioning

C:\Users\Jimbob\Documents\Work\Spreadsheets\

Do I just add “\Work\Spreadsheets\” into ignored patterns and then set up a separate synced folder for “C:\Users\Jimbob\Documents\Work\Spreadsheets\” or is there a better way to handle this?

This is probably the easiest way, just make sure to always ignore the subfolder, so that there is no overlapping sync in place. Otherwise, there is also a possibility of using external versioning with a custom script that treats specific folders differently.
