Syncthing is for making backups from a source and keep copies in several devices. Its very solid to send large files. It syncs any changes to files in the source to the backup locations.
No its pretty good for both. You can transfer large files pretty well without any break. I don’t know what your grievance is. It is solid for file transfer.
I think my grievance is in how “do it for me” I expected the app to be. Setup was simple enough, syncing files seemed to work fine. Sharing files between users I never figured out, and is why I got the application in the first place.
I guess when I hear file transfer, I assume that interuser transfers should be just as easy as system to system transfers.
I think I expected the app to do things it isn’t for, easier than it does. Tbh I can’t exactly remember, as I found it near the beginning of my selfhosting journey and my mind was swimming with new information at the time. It’s possible I’m just a big dummy 😅

Ok so it shouldn’t be on this list then, or should at least have a disclaimer that it isn’t the greatest for user to user file transfers
