![]() The Syncthing GUI at both ends could then show a single folder being synced, but the whole device would be synced, as it used to be. So, my suggestion is to add a feature as a workaround to this Android limitation that allows all the folders in the parent folder of the device to be added to a single ‘folder’ for the purposes of syncing to another device. It might seem like overkill to backup everything, but I’d rather have everything backed up and not need it, than have something happen to my device and then find out that a folder wasn’t synced that I would have liked. On my current phone I have 20 folders in the parent folder, most of them created by the OS or apps I’ve installed, and even if I manually set up a Syncthing folder sync for each of them, I would still need to check from time to time in case any new folders have been created, and again sync them. However this is not possible in the latest version(s) of Android as apps don’t have access to the parent folder of the device, and so to sync the whole device now requires manually selecting each folder within the parent folder and syncing them. Hey everyone, I’ve been using Syncthing for a while now, and in the past I have been able to backup my entire Android devices with a single Syncthing folder. ![]()
