Before I explain my setup, realize a simple one-way, two-device setup can be done quickly and easily. https://docs.syncthing.net/intro/getting-started.html https://docs.syncthing.net/intro/getting-started.html
I have it set up on my phone (android), desktop (Devuan), laptop (MX Linux), and a server (DietPi).
I have the DCIM picture folder synced one-way from the phone to the server, and one-way from the server to the desktop and laptop. As soon as a new picture is taken and a network is in range, the photo is synced.
I also have separate sync folders set up for other purposes:
"music" - all-way, all devices.
"keyring" for password manager - all-way except one-way to phone.
"sync" - All-way, all devices except phone.
"syncmobile" - all-way, all devices
Right now sync only happens over WiFi connections (local and remote) for "reasons". It's been that way for years and it's been enough. I'm still contemplating cellular data.
- suramya_tomar 3y agoSyncthing works over mobile data as well. You need to enable the option to Run on mobile data in settings. In addition you will need to Enable Relaying and Global discovery on both ends (phone and server) I have been using it to sync photos and other data from Phone -> Desktop for a few years now and it works fantastically.
