Syncthing ... where are the users?

Just installed Syncthing on my Scale server. It looks like it doesn't have users but rather folder IDs that are then used to sync devices. One of the cool features of Nextcloud is the ability to share files with other users. Can this be done with Syncthing?

  • If both people have Syncthing installed, you can do that by sharing a folder between you.

    But it is not like cloud services where you can generate a shareable link - Syncthing is mostly designed for syncing files between your own devices real-time.

  • Syncthing is more like P2P tool for syncing files between own private devices rather than being things like torrents.

  • You got the wrong application. Since other users already mentioned plenty of alternatives this comment is also redundant and can be ignored.
