Use case recommendations (three way sync, two OSs on same machine, one CIFS share)

Syncthing actually does not support syncthing “local” copies, i.e. a single instance managing two paths for the same repo.

You can either:

  • Run an instance of Syncthing also on the machine which has the CIFS, instead mounting it locally. Or use the RPi for this purpose.

  • Run two instances of syncthing locally (not recommended).

  • Try other solutions such as Unison.
