Successfully using Syncthing to sync mainly my folders of portables on D:\ drive on two laptops. Neat.

Spoiler: Changes v1.11.0

https://forum.syncthing.net/t/syncthing-v1-11-0/15806
v1.11.0
This release adds the sendFullIndexOnUpgrade option to control whether all index data is resent when an upgrade is detected, equivalent to starting Syncthing with --reset-deltas. This (sendFullIndexOnUpgrade=true) used to be the behavior in previous versions, but is mainly useful as a troubleshooting step and causes high database churn. The new default is false.

Bugfixes:

• #6994: "panic: filling Blocks: leveldb: snapshot released" on folder save
• #7002: "Syncing (NaN%, 0 B)" when syncing 0-byte files
• #7008: Filenames containing dots lead to a "The system cannot find the file specified" sync error
• #7021: Tests fail when building the Alpine pkg on aarch64
• #7034: Folders getting stuck in "Syncing" after a20c6ca after doing changes when folders are paused
• #7035: Devices Announcing LAN addresses even with AnnounceLANAddresses set to off/false
• #7036: Shutting Syncthing down while pushing files to multiple devices corrupts the database?

Enhancements:

• #6982: Disable full index transmission on upgrade
• #7020: Do not disconnect when changing folder settings
• #7028: Detect and optionally report non-fatal failures
