Comment on Syncthing ... where are the users?

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn’t have any concept of users since it’s not designed for that.
You want Nextcloud or similar ‘google drive’ replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

Personally, I’d really like if it could have different users on its management interface, with their own file shares.
It’s understandable why they don’t bother, but I would like to share my NAS without running several instances.

Well each share can choose which devices it shows up for, so you don’t really need users in that sense. But also if you run it under another user account it will have its own clean profile too.

Then you need NextCloud, not Syncthing.

Hum, no. The last thing I need on the world is a piece of non-working hard to maintain software.
I’d write something before trying Nextcloud again.

Nextcloud works just fine on my system, must be something with the way you set stuff up.
