          I use it to backup my photos, music from my phone to my PC. Send music from the PC to the phone, nothing too crazy. What about you?

            Is syncthing a backup solution? I think it is advised to not rely on it for backups because one deletion deletes it from everywhere.

            I don’t know what I can use it for. I have set it up on iPhone and desktop. I am wondering if I should use it for RPi with Tailscale. Still, the question remains on what to use it for?

              There’s a setting for that but I’ve just got all one way folders right now, so in my music I’ll have a send and receive sub dir just in case. Same with the photos but I’m not really sending them to the phone.

                Then it is fine, I guess.

                iOS does not support syncing in background with Syncthing (the only app I know of, and it is in TestFlight). I don’t know if I would be able to make any use of it.
