Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

Thanks for the names!

That’s… a very good idea. I should do that anyway.

Forgejo for projects and syncthing for data is probably perfect, thank you!

I tried with both, but I didn’t figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it’s in a context menu in nautilus, without it’s in the desktop app).

it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it’s not the right tool for the job here.

I don’t want to “have the folders connected”, I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

I have. It hasn’t worked very well for me, the docs weren’t great (though I’m looking at them now and they do seem better?) and it broke in strange ways.

So… databases? Especially in data centers? Still a nice boost in that case
