Comment on Basic file sharing but with the ability to sync with other users.

Not quite following you there, let me see if my system helps.
I have a NAS with multiple syncthing instances (services) running:
- me, my laptops, my phone
- my partner, their laptop & phone
- other equipment in the house (for Music, etc) For me & my partner, I added a shared folder that both syncthing instances used.
It works fine if you ignore file ownerships and set the underlying permissions so both users (ie the group users) have write access.
But, if we’re both editing something, syncthing will nuke one of them (so I have versioning on). But for us this never happens as they’re rarely writing to those files.

Yes, I have exactly the same setup. But we’ve lost a couple of password because we had Keepass open at the same time. This never happened with Nextcloud.

Pretty sure KeepassXC keeps its DB closed unless editing, I’ve not had trouble syncthinging it to my phone. That said, if I was worried, I’d designate a network accessible DB as ‘the truth’ and have everyone edit that, then set up a systemd service using a rsync (guts of syncthing) script to put it on all the sometimes network inaccessible endpoints on a regular basis, daily maybe?

But do you have File Versioning setup on all the syncthing end points?
If so, you’ll at least get
sync-conflictcopies - yes, you’ll still need to fix them, but at least they won’t (shouldn’t) be totally lost.I guess another idea is to have separate personal keepass files to help reduce the editing on a common file…? (That’s what we have)
