So, when I install Syncthing, the first thing it does is scan my entire device and try to send gigabytes worth of things to the other devices I’ve linked to. It doesn’t seem to matter where I put the folder I create. All I really want is to have one folder that I can choose to put a file or folder in periodically when I want something to be synced across devices. How do I stop this behavior of scanning the entire device and trying to send everything? Thank you.

Edited: “If you are using a Syncthing flavor that adds OS specific functionality (e.g. the Android app), you may need to access the Web GUI to enable syncing folders, and other configuration options.”
Is that the first clue? The iPad has a default folder as it should. The LG V30 doesn’t.
So, the address of the webGUI is… http://localhost:8384/ but it requires a login and password. Where do we get that from?
Ok, I just found access to the webGUI from within the Android app.
