There is also the option to use a web browser to configure folders/devices etc if for some reason anyone prefers it. This will be very helpful for anyone who hadn't yet worked out a way to do it. I had given up on the Flatpak version when I first was setting it up a couple of months ago because I couldn't figure out the auto start part (which I think is critical for a syncing application). I'm glad OP got the Flatpak version figured out and posted instructions. I have been using it for my desktop, laptop, and phone for a long time. If the above message seems strange I have included these instructions here įor anyone considering sync solutions I'll just say Syncthing is great and I highly recommend it.
Looks like Reddit may be doing weird things to the formatting. (8384 is the usual Syncthing port) or if you'd like just run the following in the Konsole: systemctl -user stop syncthing To solve this, edit /home/deck/.var/app/me.kozec.syncthingtk/config/syncthing/config.xml and change the address to another port. If you use plugins for your SteamDeck then Syncthing installed via the syncthing-gtk flatpack and the CEF Remote Debugging will clash and attempt to use the same port (8080). If you wish to disable Syncthing starting on launch you can run the following commands: systemctl -user stop syncthing Now you can switch back to Game Mode and Syncthing will start automatically. Now you should be able to open Syncthing GTK and it will no longer display the popup that it is starting a daemon because it is just connecting to the one already running. The open Konsole and run the commands systemctl -user enable syncthing Next you will need to create a new text file located at /home/deck/.config/systemd/user/rvice and the contents of the file will be ĮxecStart=flatpak run -command=syncthing me.kozec.syncthingtk So launch Syncthing GTK and select the cog icon and select Shutdown Daemon, then select quit. Even if you closed the Syncthing window it still runs in the background. (I think there is a Syncthingy flatpak as well that I do not use)īefore proceeding make sure that there is no syncthing running on your system.

However you must install the syncthing-gtk flatpak from Discover.
#Syncthing icon how to#
Since there are many posts on how to use Syncthing on the SteamDeck I won't cover that aspect. Okay I will, first follow this guide on setting up Syncthing on the SteamDeck. While googling how to start Syncthing automatically I didn't find any solutions so I went ahead and figured out how to do it and as a bonus it starts automatically even in Game Mode! I have seen many guides out there that go over how to use Syncthing to transfer files from your PC to the SteamDeck but they all require having your Deck in Desktop Mode. Think of it like Dropbox but without the cloud.

Syncthing is great open source software to keep folders in sync across multiple computers in a private manner. So for example I can now download roms to a folder on my PC and the roms are automatically synced and ready to play on my SteamDeck without ever launching Desktop mode! You could even use this to sync savegames from games that don't support cloud save from your Deck to your PC for backup. You can sync any file to your SteamDeck from your PC (or vice versa) automatically.
