[Question] Shared folder across devices (lemmy.ml)

I have a VPS server in the cloud that I use for wireguard. I got the idea to also use it to host a shared folder across my devices: Linux laptop and Android phone.

I started doing some research on this, and would welcome pointers.

It really depends on what it is you're trying to share between machines.

I don't use syncthing but something that fulfils a similar function (git-annex). My Documents repo is set up in such a way that all instances of the repo try to have a copy of everything because documents are very important data and don't take much space. Other (larger) repos only try to have two or three independant copies; depending on how large and important their data is.
