Yes that is the exact use case here. I have a desktop and couple of laptops and two phones. Five devices. With dropbox there was an always on server so wasn’t a problem.
So just checking if syncthing is smart enough to handle this scenario.
Thanks
It will handle the scenario acceptably for most use cases. The more overlap in “on” periods between individual devices the better. If most of the devices are rarely on simultaneously then you might have problems. I can’t really know how much overlap you’ll have so it’s probably best to try it.
And make backups first so that you’re not disappointed if something goes wrong. It’s unlikely that anything will go wrong (and conflict files will probably be created if something does), but backing up is ALWAYS best practice.
