Delete sync workspace device

Deleting files (photos in the gallary) on the worspace dosen’t have effect on the
Device: is that correct? Is this the default behavior? Can be changed? How?
What about the vice versa? Same dubtas above…

what you describe is correct and that behaviour isn’t configurable. I explained what I know from reading the code here (a bit annoyed - sorry for that):

deletions will not propagate from either side - that code got neutered.

The sync mechanism is “additive” from and to both sides, but with “a memory of files” device-side.

Device-side record keeping of ETag (a hash basically) and last-modified-date are used to decide what side wins on same-name but ETag difference: the more current file wins.

…

I agree this is missing in the docs.

A workaround to get propagating deletes is using two folders where each end has precedence to overwrite / delete per rule.

RoundSync could be used to set something up like this, Syncthing has behaviour switches. Then there’s the free/commercial FolderSync.
