From what I understand there are 2 ways to setup Syncthing on Windows 11:
The first is the SyncthingWindowsSetup (Github). After setting it up and connecting it to another device, where is the location to the synced file?
It looks to me that it creates a folder named SyncthingServiceAcct. I open it, it asks for permission, and that is where I can find the my_synced_folder (from the other device). For convenience, I can create a shortcut for my_synced_folder and add it to my desktop (or wherever convenient). Is this the correct way to access that synced folder?
The 2nd downloads a zip file. After extracting, a folder named syncthing-windows-amd64-v1.28.0 appears. Inside is the syncthing.exe. Is there an ideal place to put this folder? For example, could I just leave it on the desktop? Or put it my user folder? Add it to c:\programfiles (requires permission)?
Maybe it doesn’t matter but I prefer the zip file method since it seems to add the my_synced_folder to my c:\users\username.
Apologies in advance if someone asked this question already, I didn’t see it anywhere.
Thank you!
