Wanna know if it’s possible to use the “Pictures” folder in Users/. Y’know, like, have all changes in that specific folder and subfolders synched without creating any different ones. Because I’m getting an “access denied” error.
(explain like I’m five and a newb) P.S: Syncthing installed for all users btw
What user is running Syncthing? Does that user have access to “C:\Users\DELL\Pictures” ?
probably, no idea how to even check that. but anyway, you’re saying my idea should be possible?
It’s definitely possible to sync a Windows folder —- that’s what I’m doing with Syncthing at home, including pictures.
First, make sure Syncthing is running, using Task Manager. There should be two processes. It sounds like it is running.
In Task Manager, check the details of the Syncthing tasks to see what user owns the process.
Next, in File Explorer navigate to C:\Users\DELL and right-click Pictures. Select Properties and navigate to the Security tab. What rights does the user running Syncthing have to this directory?
this is as far as I could get…
I think I got it working now… I’ve added a new User, named em SyncthingServiceAcct, gave em permissions – and now the right folders sync without errors!! (at least, I think so for now…) Thank you for your help, chaos, I wouldn’t be able to get to this point myself
Awesome! Glad to help!
