* if you want bidirectional sync, then copyparty and syncthing *should* be entirely safe to combine; they should be able to collaborate on the same folders without causing any trouble for eachother. Many people do this, and there have been no issues so far. But, if you *do* encounter any problems, please [file a copyparty bug](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/issues/new/choose) and I'll try to help -- just keep in mind I've never used syncthing before :-)
the commandline uploader [u2c.py](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/tree/hovudstraum/bin#u2cpy) with `--dr` is the best way to sync a folder to copyparty; verifies checksums and does files in parallel, and deletes unexpected files on the server after upload has finished which makes file-renames really cheap (it'll rename serverside and skip uploading) the commandline uploader [u2c.py](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/tree/hovudstraum/bin#u2cpy) with `--dr` is the best way to sync a folder to copyparty; verifies checksums and does files in parallel, and deletes unexpected files on the server after upload has finished which makes file-renames really cheap (it'll rename serverside and skip uploading)
alternatively there is [rclone](./docs/rclone.md) which allows for bidirectional sync and is *way* more flexible (stream files straight from sftp/s3/gcs to copyparty, ...), although there is no integrity check and it won't work with files over 100 MiB if copyparty is behind cloudflare alternatively there is [rclone](./docs/rclone.md) which allows for bidirectional sync and is *way* more flexible (stream files straight from sftp/s3/gcs to copyparty, ...), although there is no integrity check and it won't work with files over 100 MiB if copyparty is behind cloudflare
