Questions about synchronization

Can I manually set the scanning schedule? For example, if the software does not actively scan after running, it can ensure real-time file synchronization. For example, when there are a large number of files, synchronization will stop after scanning, making it difficult to meet the timeliness of incremental updates.

You can trigger the scanner via the API.

What @calmh said.

Plus: Be default (at least on the platforms I use), there is also the file watcher which notifies Syncthing about any filesystem changes. So essentially the combination of the watcher and the scanner is “belt and suspenders”. The scanner will pick up changes which might have been missed by the watcher. This should be rare in the normal case.
