I'm wondering about "Receive Only" folders

[sisa]

Hi,

relocateing from this discussion Automaticly overwrite the slave's fies from the master (w/o hitting a button) to this thread:

This is what I understand and recognized the behaviour of the folder type

Send & Receive:

It requires a human to confirm remote changes to be overwritten by a Send Only Folder on the Send Only Folder side. Additionally, local changes are automaticly distributed/received between all connected folders, which are not a Send Only Folder.

Now, this is what I’d like to use in Syncthing in addition to the “Send & Receive” folder type:

Receive Only (from a device with a Send Only Folder): The Folder would receive changes automaticly from a Send Only Folder (“master folder”) and requires no human confirmation for any local overwriting or remotely recognition of the changes. Everything changed on the Send Only Folder is silently forced to the Receive Only Folder.

I guess, this is something mentioned here:

Or, I want to access my music library but any mods or deletions I do not want propagating into my master music database. Can SyncThing not do this?

Or, I want to set up a one-way data repository drop that only receives updates but does not send back changes, updates, or deletes.

But also this is very interesting, because I have some folder, which I don’t want to be updated from other “slave” folders, but only from the “master” Send Only folder:

I’d like my younger child to get at a set of games on her synchronized computer, but I don’t want anything she does to propagate to others.
