I moved from next cloud to syncthing some months back. I had nextcloud as an app for Truenas scale. Several times after app dates, next cloud would stop running and would have to setup up everything again.
Syncthing is OK but 2 things annoy me:
A. I get huge amounts of conflict file generated that use up space
B. File sharing with family is complicated. I tried to setup a share account that everyone uses but as syncthing works with device ids, it refuses two accounts from the same machine. I share my Linux laptop with my wife. We each have our own linux account. I’ve got syncthing running but can’t even get my wife’s account to sync because I get errors that device I’d already exists.
I don’t want to go back to next cloud just for file sharing. I don’t generally like the idea of relying on one service for multiple objectives (calendar, file sharing, etc.).
Is there a way to get syncthing to do what I want?
Stop spreading FUD. Syncthing for Android is very well supported and, while the official client will not have updates, there are other clients that are actively developed.

Synching has dropped android support as well unfortunately

For android there is https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/wiki
Well, fortunately it still works. Also, it seems like the forked version did not stop development.
