Sync a subfolder of an already synced folder

Hi all,

I have been using Syncthing for one year now and it’s great: many thanks for it. I have a question on how I’m using it for a specific case: so far it has worked correctly, but I was wondering whether this is an ok way of setting it up and eventually if there is a better way of doing this.

There are (at minimum) three computers: A, B, C. A is always running, B and C can be running or not. A and B have the folder ~/mainpath synchronized in both directions. C is synchronized only with a subfolders (subpath1). Like this:

*** Computer A (always running)

~/mainpath
~/mainpath/subpath1
~/mainpath/otherstuff

*** Computer B (not always running)

~/mainpath
~/mainpath/subpath1
~/mainpath/otherstuff

*** Computer C (not always running)

~/subpath1

Setup 1, which I tried:

*** Computer A (always running)

~/mainpath <-> shared with B
~/mainpath/subpath1 <-> shared with C
~/mainpath/otherstuff

*** Computer B (not always running)

~/mainpath <-> shared with A
~/mainpath/subpath1
~/mainpath/otherstuff

*** Computer C (not always running)

~/subpath1 <-> shared with A

Setup 2, which I have also tried:

*** Computer A (always running)

~/mainpath <-> shared with B
~/mainpath/subpath1 <-> shared with C
~/mainpath/otherstuff

*** Computer B (not always running)

~/mainpath <-> shared with A
~/mainpath/subpath1 <-> shared with C
~/mainpath/otherstuff

*** Computer C (not always running)

~/subpath1 <-> shared with A and with B

Thanks again.
