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?

Syncthing is not a public sharing tool, it’s for your own devices. Perhaps you are trying to fit it to a scenario it’s not made for.

Which is one of the occasions that a Dev sticks to the original feature list instead of trying to shoehorn in some features which wouldn’t really fit.

I mean you can kinda do it with one way syncs (e.g. read only shares and give a friend the code so they can connect to it).
