When I checked the Ignore Delete option in the advanced Settings and delete some files from the folder, the folder synchronization progress keeps at 95%. Can you ignore the deleted files and make the progress display 100%?
Did you carefully study the ignoreDelete documentation?
Yes, I have done it carefully. But I want to use Syncthing in the business scenario that every end need to ingore delete action. Specifically, it monitors local deletion files and backs them up, but does not push delete action to other ends.
Syncthing’s focus, as its name implies, is on synchronization. This means keeping a folder in sync across several devices. It is not a file transfer tool.
There are mainly two ways Syncthing diverges from pure synchronization:
- “Send Only”/“Receive Only”.
- “Ignore Delete”. If you read the documentation you will find that one of its drawbacks is that the sync status is permanently out of sync. In other topics on the forum you will also find that the developers regret ever having implemented it, so don’t expect improvements on that particular feature. Towards Syncthing 2.0
