      Yeah, iOS/iPadOS isn't great for that, so far as I can tell. I spent am unreasonable amount of time the other day trying to work out how to get the Obsidian vault on my iPad to sync with the vault in my SyncThing folder. Still not entirely happy with my setup. In fairness though, I'm running SyncThing on three computers, and two of them are Macs. So its solid on there.

      But other than that, SyncThing isn't a great replacement for iCloud Drive because you can't choose what you download. So if I have 200gb in my ST folder I can't sync it with my 128gb phone.

        Sushitrain/Synctrain might be what you looking for. It’s a libre and new app for putting syncthing to iOS: https://github.com/pixelspark/sushitrain

          did you try to use syncthing's filters?

            I didn't.

            I must admit, I don't really know how it all works and am mostly just blindly picking my way through, appreciating what works at this moment in time.
