Installation on phone from F-droid (Syncthing-fork) gives a 1-way share of your Camera to backup to PC whenever you get back home. That's my top usecase... Together with syncing KeePass database since long ago too.
I have a keepass database synced between a phone, desktop and a Raspberry Pi 1. The Pi just sits as an always-on server. I don't edit it on my phone. Here's my problem: when I edit something on my desktop and save it I invariably get a file conflict error and have to force the Pi to accept the new 'conflicted' file from my desktop. Any idea why? It's incredibly annoying!
I think you need to set up database syncronization in keepass. I had this issue for a bit until I enabled this. Basically you set a copy that's synced with syncthing outside of your keepass folder, then another copy that keepass edits directly. Then you can set it up so that when it saves the database in keepass it will sync the edits in the one that's mirrored y syncthing.
Thank you, i'm going to look into this!
