Create or delete a Syncthing Shared folder

• Back to the main Syncthing section

A Syncthing shared folder is a directory on your local filesystem that is synchronized across devices using Syncthing’s peer-to-peer protocol.

Create a shared folder using the Artica Web console

• On the main table, click on your instance.
• Select the Folders tab.
• Click on New folder button

• Click on Browse button in order to select or create the folder.
• Click on Create to set the directory as Shared mode

• Directory was created with the default Send and receive synchronization method

Create a shared folder using the Web API

use the

POST http://1.2.3.4:9503/syncthing/instance/[instance ID]/folder/create

Where Instance ID is the numeric instance number and use post field path for the full path of the new created folder.

example: 

curl -X POST http://1.2.3.4:9503/syncthing/instance/1/folder/create -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data-urlencode "path=/home/david/Shared"

Delete a folder using the Web console

Deleting the shared folder does not delete the files; it simply disconnects the Syncthing synchronization engine from the path.

• Click on the red dustbin under the shared folder and confirm the deletion.

Delete a folder using the Web API

use the

GET http://1.2.3.4:9503/syncthing/instance/[instance ID]/folder/delete/[ID]

Where ID is the folder unique identifier you see in the ID column.
