To my knowledge, .nomedia files are created on Android to prevent the folder from being scanned for media. I don't think it's due to "anything besides", but Android in particular. I haven't tried configuring the Android Syncthing app to exclude .nomedia files, but it may be possible.

- cesarb 5y agoIIRC, MacOS is well known for leaving .DS_Store droppings absolutely everywhere. If you ever shared a pen drive with a MacOS user, it would come back full of .DS_Store junk all over it. It might be that one you're recalling.

Should solve that problem. The whole point of those files was to store Mac-related metadata (such as icon positions and other stuff) that the filesystem in question did not have the capability to store, to preserve Mac users' expectations.
