    Oh nice! I felt like website did a bad job at explaining what it is and how it works

    Like, it doesn’t say if it uses one of their servers or if the two devices should be up at the same time. If so, that’s really unfortunate

      The devices need to be running at the same time, which isn’t that much of a problem, if you e. G. only want to sync your PC to your mobile.

      I think the “normal” usage is having an always on computer as a server and link all other devices to that one for updates.

      It does not.

      if the two devices should be up at the same time

      You can’t sync 2 devices when they have no way to connect to each other, so no.

      I would recommend getting a server. And by “server” I mean literally any computer with Syncthing installed and left on. Could even be an old phone or something (with sufficient storage). That way there’s always 1 device to sync to.
