Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet.

For a given folder on a given machine: Folder ID: Unique identifier for the folder across all devices (it's how Syncthing knows two folders are the same) Folder Path: The actual location of the folder on this device Global State: The combined view of all files in the folder across all connected devices Local State: The actual files currently present on this machine
If Global > Local: this machine is missing files (needs to download)
If Local > Global: this machine has changes not yet shared (needs to upload) Folder Type: Send & Receive (default): this machine sends and receives files
Send only: this machine sends files, doesn't receive. if it's missing changes, see: “Out of Sync (override changes)”
Receive only: this machine receives changes, doesn't send any changes made on this machine (if that happens, it's flagged “Local changes”) Rescans: How often Syncthing checks the folder for changes File Pull Order: Determines which files get pulled first when syncing. Choices: Alphabetic, Smallest First Largest First, Oldest First, Newest First, Random Shared With: The list of other devices that sync this folder. Each device must be connected (paired) and accept the folder share. Last Scan: The last time the folder was scanned.
