Comment on Uncommon Syncthing usecases
zaphod@lemmy.ca 11 months agoThat’d exactly what you want! When the file initially lands in the sync folder, Syncthing sends it to paperless. Paperless ingests it, deletes it, and it disappears from my phone, now stored in paperless. Exactly what I need.
If I wanted the files to stay on the phone I’d set up the phone as Send Only and the paperless side as Recieved Only.

Oh you delete them from the phone too, ok that makes sense.
I don’t delete them from the phone so that’s a bit of a dilemma.

Again, Syncthing supports one-way sync so allowing paperless to delete them and having that delete sync back to the phone is entirely optional.

I mean, how does Syncthing know not to copy a file again if it copied it once and paperless deleted it?

The client on the sender side knows it sent the file. It doesn’t care if the receiver side changed or deleted it. That’s why the mode is called “Send Only”.
