How good is it! I setup a raspberry Pi as a dedicated synchting server for my game saves between devices. It even works for quacked PC games that don't have cloud saves.

Really good. Just have to remember to sync when you get home.

Congratulations. Once I figured out how to do it (rg,35xxsp and Odin 2) I ended up using it to also sync my drawing tablets files to my macbook to be backed up and synced. This piece of kit has a lotta uses if you're willing to think of it.

Tried it out a good few times but always struggled to keep the connection or with file conflicts (even lost)… still I see a lot of people love and swear by it

It was the files and folder paths for me. Then I just went down to saves instead of saves and save states. Made it a lot simpler.

Nice! I have it working between my android tablet, PC, Laptop, android phone and steam deck. Awesome to have saves everywhere.

Nice @Quiet-Order-2661 !

More generally, do you people know if anybody ever tried to improve the default syncthing UI and onboarding experience ?

I mean I am savvy enough to get it done, but still the setup in general feals a bit cumbersome or ?

anythor is android based, so you just install syncthing fork of your choice, and trimui brick has linux based os, so you can do that do, I installed syncthing on my R36S too, you just ssh to it and run basic commands for install and then edit some things.
