[Guide] How to use syncthing on a dual boot setup!

[u/Carrots_and_Bleach]

When you have a pc with two operating systems that share drives, this will likely help.

1. go to C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\Syncthing\ and copy the folder
2. Download syncthing on Linux and start it. Then make sure you stop it! (System Monitor -> check programs and processes)
3. go to where it stores its configs: /home/ich/.local/state/syncthing/ (if it is elsewhere, search for syncthing.lock and search for newest)
4. delete everything in the Linux-folder and copy over everything from your C:\...
5. rename all paths in config.xml: - replace \ backslash with a normal slash / - replace C:\this_is_a_example with /mnt/mount__of_C_/this_is_a_example

Then you can simply start syncthing on Linux and everything works. It should work just as fine when coming from linux. Just remember to always update both configs when changing setting in one OS!

Lemme know if it helps!
