What are you non-obvious, maybe strange usecases of Syncthing?

For example syncing the media library with your friend or maybe your entire /home/user folder between your PC and laptop?

I’d love to hear your ideas!

    For a while I was exchanging encrypted backups with a friend. An easy way to offside without granting shell accounts.

      Ha, i have planted a few rasoberry pi zeros running just syncthing in a few relatives’ places for that. I worry about a blackout damaging them, so i have a few. Syncthing is great, as soon as a backup is made, it whisks it off all over the place, amazing.
