The one issue I have with syncthing is the abundance of .sync-conflict files it will generate sometimes.
it happens if you change files on each device while offline, if you change then sync it is ok, if you change same file on multiple devices, that is a conflict as it can't decide which file you want to keep
You can choose which to keep in the web interface. That's a feature preventing data loss. You can choose to just delete all of these files but that would mean Syncthing might use the wrong data.
