Manual Sync Individual Files

Support
1

Just made the switch from BTSync today. One feature I liked of BTSyncPro was the ability to just sync individual files. Am I missing how to accomplish this in the documentation? I can only seem to sync an entire directory between pc to laptop.

There is no individual file sync for Syncthing. Instead entire folders are shared between devices.

You can still have a similar behavior by playing with the .stignore file: wiki page

!file_to_sync      # ! force inclusion
!folder_to_sync
*                  # ignore everything else

True but you’re still syncing an entire folder, then telling Syncthing to ignore everything in that folder, except one file. You’re not sharing 1 file specifically.
