I am looking at a way to use syncthing as a way to archive data from a laptop with limited diskspace to a desktop with lots of space.
So on laptop if I have a folder ‘Archive’. I move files/folders there, wait for them to be synced. Then delete them on the laptop to free up space, knowing they are saved on the desktop.
I’m not sure if “Send & Receive Folder” are for this use-case.
There is similar question asked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Syncthing/comments/dc0o1o/how_to_use_syncthing_as_photos_backup_and_free_up/ Though the recommendation is inconclusive.
Any guidelines appreciated.
