Multiple androids: why is it working?
This is probably my ignorance showing, but here it goes. With the official ST android app I was keeping all the data under Android/data/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid
. This, I understand, is about the easiest way to avoid the infamous mtimes issue ( https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/831). I am now running the Silk client in three Androids, but the data are still in the same place (Android/data/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid
). And things keep working just fine.
A few questions then:
- Is this expected to happen?
- If I were to remove the official client, and to do it cleanly, the directory
Android/data/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid
would be removed. Or, for that matter, if someone were to install from the start only the Silk client, I guess that directory would not exist. Where should we place the data to circumvent the mtimes issue?/data/data/syncthing.android/
does not seem the right place (and cannot be modified unless one is rooted).
