      New to Syncthing and have been using it to sync between my 2 android devices. Is it possible to sync the same folder to a PC as well?

        As far as I know there is no limit on the number of devices you can sync. So yes it is possible to sync a folder on multiple devices and not only 2.

        I can confirm this is possible. In the past I had a folder synced between my android phone, android tablet, and windows PC.

        The only issue is you need a full mesh sync unless I set something up wrong.

      Same. The free version is sufficient. I use it to transfer the full resolution photos and videos from the phone to two computers. Syncthing is also good.

    Syncthing is great once you have it working. It’s not the most intuitive application though. SyncTrayzor helps a lot for pc usage

    SyncTrayzor

      Looks like you meant “SyncTrayzor”.
      I’ve considered SyncThing before but it looked very fiddly. SyncTrayzor should be very helpful.

    I use Autosync (Android devices --> Google Drive) and Google Drive’s desktop app. Works perfectly for me.

    You can set it up for a single folder if you like (I keep about 5 folders synced).

    As others have said it would havetio be SyncThing. I’m sure other solutions exist but it’s remarkably easy.
