No read access shares / keeping files encrypted

[xavierl (xavier)]

actually i am using syncthing with succes between my own computers.

my relatives are interested in syncthing but we are suffering an issue.

they do not have several machines. and they will not invest in several machines.

i do not want to share a folder with them on which i will have read access.

actually syncthing encrypt the files for transfert and then uncrypt the files on each node.

is there a way to config some shares/nodes to keep the files encrypted ?

so that if someone sync files on a share on my machine then everything is safe as i cannot read anything.

maybe this is already implemented and just i do not know how to do it

A feature I very much would like - It’s not yet included…

Here is the open issue for it

Issue: Support for file encryption (e.g. non-trusted servers)

thank you. now i remember reading this github thread last year. but i was looking for in on the forum …

to make an illusion of easyness i would say that it is not an additional encryption feature

but this would be to “suspend” the uncryption feature as files are already encrypted before being sent

This is the discussion thread:

Encryption for remote syncthing device

Hi, I don’t think this is possible so this is more of a feature request, unless there’s a way to do this using 3rd party apps…I’d like to run a syncthing device on my VPS cloud server (digital ocean in my case) but I’d like to have the entire folder encrypted since it will not be in my physical control. I know traffic between devices is encrypted via TLS but the files themselves will be sitting there unencrypted. Any way to have seamless encryption of files on a device? I’m not too concerned …
