@djdarren @frongt That's not how SyncThing is designed. It's intended to be a full mirror.
I kind of emulate what you're talking about with restic's mount command. It's a lot less intuitive than what you'd get from a cloud storage platform, but it's Good Enough For Me. If you want to match cloud storage, you probably want nextcloud or seafile or something.
Yeah, I figured as much. I do have Nextcloud on my server, and probably should get around to shifting most of what's in my SyncThing over to it.
