Hello
I am wondering if the following assumption is correct:
In the case where the DCIM folder should be synchronized with Syncthing across two different instances, does the folder /storage/emulated/1x/DCIM need to be shared on each Syncthing instance?
Thanks a lot in advance!
It’s not clear what you mean by two different instances. On the same Android device? Or just share the same folder with two other devices?
At the moment I am trynig to sync the DCIM folder across 2 different GrapheneOS profiles.
The pictures shot on instance1/profile1(GOS) should be viewable in the gallery app of instance1/profile1(GOS) and vice versa.
Have you checked whether running two instances simultaneously is even possible in GrapheneOS? As @tomasz86 has doubted that here:
What you’re writing here is that the profile1 should show its own files? Probably a typo, so you want to duplicate all images between both profiles?
Overall I think Syncthing might be a poor fit for this use case. What you really need is a common folder shared between the two profiles, but all local to one device. Syncthing is made to synchronize between an arbitrary number of networked devices. Duplicating the data is just one problem with your approach, but Syncthing will waste a lot more resources in addition compared to a simple local folder which both profiles can access.
