Does Syncthing allow you to sync two differently-named folders as one folder while preserving the respective names? For example, your pictures folder may not be called the same thing on your phone and computer, or across Windows and Linux, or you want to sync game save files between Android and Windows.
- stavros 5y agoYes, it doesn't care where each folder is on the FS or what it's called.
- davidjytang 5y agobe careful with upper and lower cases. some file system doesn't distinguish them.
- southerntofu 5y agoI'm not sure it's supported in a GUI, but a simple symlink should do the trick. Say your photos folder is called Pictures on one machine, and Photos one another: just ln -s Pictures Photos (admitting you've moved all the contents of photos to Pictures and removed the Photos folder itself) and that should just work (didn't test).
- XorNot 5y agoYou don't need to do this: when the folder is offered to share to another device, you can specify which folder it's going to go into locally. Internally everything is matched by folder ID codes.

- rexfuzzle 5y agoYes, it does. I do this for multiple folder- i.e. the pictures folder on my phone is called whatever android has decided to call it this year and it syncs with my pictures folder on my desktop.
