Send only subfolders? With ignore rules?

[NathanOtano (Nathan)]

Hey We are already using send only/receive only syncs which helps us to avoid big problems Sometimes I would like some folder to be kind of “mailboxes” where people can for exemple archive files or send files, but they will not receive any file put in that folder from other people Setting a simple one-sided ingore rule where the sender can upload but not receive in a folder would be great. Is there already a way to do that? Is this planned?

Best,

There is not, this is not how Syncthing works, unfortunately.

Inbox Folder

I have a feature request. What I’m envisioning is a sort of inbox, where the “owner” can access all the files in their inbox folder but the people who upload to that person’s inbox can only access the files they shared. Lets say we have three people: Alice, Bob, Joe. Alice has a shared folder to which she shares a public key with Bob & Joe. While Alice can access any files in the share, Bob can only access the files Bob shares and Joe can only access the files Joe shares. Currently, the cloes…

The solution with syncthing is to use separate folders for each user.

Instead of sharing one folder with 4 users and trying to set permission in subfolders, create four folders. You can set send/receive on two machines and receive only on the other two… you can set each folders preferences differently on each machine to achieve what you want.

If I understand you correctly. (Which maybe I don’t.)
