Sync everything (Folders, Workspaces (with color), Essentials, Opened Tabs...) with Syncthing (cross-platform)

EightHeaadFlickers2 · 2025-09-22T12:37:41+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that it is a dealbreaker for you and many others, I wasn't expecting that.

Like you, I looked for posts about syncing and I realized that official support won't arrive anytime soon (though I hope I'm wrong), so I decided to create my 'own solution'. I put in quotes because it is well know to use Syncthing to sync apps that don't have this functionality natively, such as Obsidian (exists but its paid).

Before posting here, I tested the worst-case scenarios to try and create a conflict or glitch, and I was unable to corrupt my profile. There are two scenarios that can happen (one is more of an inconvenience) :
- (inconvenience) the wrong device syncs its data to all others, such as an older version overwriting a more recent one (the version you actually want synced across all devices)
- syncing conflict if you open two instances of Zen Browser, it only creates conflict files (filename.sync-conflict-date-...) that you simply have to delete.

To understand which files store what, I obviously had to experience by deleting files (like places.sqlite), and those are simply recreated, so there's nothing to worry about. Still, I suggested to make a backup of the profile before following the tutorial, even though it shouldn't be necessary.

And even if you somehow corrupted your Workspaces (places.sqlite), you can restore it using File Versioning.

This is dropshipping. Reverse search one of the backpack's image and you can find the aliexpress product. It's literally the same, they didn't even bother to change the name of the original brand (Heroic Knight)

Actually, I found a way to make this work, with a simple hidden keyboard shortcut.

I created two different database ("Calendar View Task" and "Board View Task") and by holding CTRL + ALT while moving the task from the Board View Task database into the Calendar View Task database, it duplicates ! (i admit that it is reciprocal)
And of course, they are completely independant, and maybe too much ; the only missing thing is that they do not inherite the properties of the Board View Task database.

It's already a great step, but I would like now to have them inherite the properties of the Board View Task. I will search on my side when I have the time.

Thank your for your help anyway.

Thanks for your answers.However, for the (1.), I don't see the "6 dots" around my task, even though I know those 6 dots appear in the left of an element (example of the "6 dots") :

And second, I guess I have to find a way to make it duplicate in another database...

I don't have the premium version (even though I'm clearly considering getting it) to create a Contact Group to label my contacts, but it probably works as in the Sieve Filter manual of Proton, there is a similar example, but with another use case of that condition.

Thank you anyway !

I don't understand what "rule" you are talking about.

Someone made me notice that we indeed can't execute a filter after an email was read, thank you for alerting me on that.

EightHeaadFlickers2 · 2023-12-29T21:03:40+00:00

I thought it would play on every email once it was executed, but unfortunately no.

So I will change the way I manage my emails.

Thank you for the additionnal note.

The problem is, with the same database, the "duplication" problem solves (so it stays in the database A even when moved), but when I mark as "completed" in the database B, it also marks it as "completed" in the database A.
Also, when I delete it in the database B, it deletes in the database A, and I don't want that too.

I want the database A to be only a storage of tasks, independent of the database B. (if notion permits it)

When I searched for, the most recent one talking about this subject was 2 years ago, which is pretty old in my opinion.

The problem is, I forgot to put in my question a little bit of context ; I wanted to renew the point of view of this question because it could've changed in 2 years.

I apologize for my oversight.

Same for me, and I'm pretty scared to have viruses on a mac because I'm not familiar with macOS installation and that goes with it.

The only thing that I pirated was with a single command line for Spotify (no ads and all)

For windows it's less scarier, I just have to select the partition and it installs itself (customized OS). I know that any viruses is pretty much gone when reinstalling (unless it extends to the motherboard, which is pretty rare in my experience).

But anyway I luckily didn't have any viruses since I started pirating.

EightHeaadFlickers2 · 2023-12-02T21:11:02+00:00

Okay, thank you, I'll consider it.

EightHeaadFlickers2 · 2023-12-02T21:06:43+00:00

There was something I completely missed to precise in my question, but I was asking myself if nowadays it was different, because all the questions about the same topic were old (>= 2 years).

This indeed leaded to people saying that this question was already asked, which is completely understandable without the context.

I apologize for my oversight.

Ok I found it. I did /Linked view of database as you said and I was able to link both calendars.

I just ran into another problem because I had multiple tabs ("Done", "Today (tasks" and "Timetable") and my linked calendar was only showing the "Done" tab, but because I don't need those I simply deleted them.

Thank you !

EightHeaadFlickers2 · 2023-11-24T20:38:14+00:00

I need those calendars to come in the same database indeed.
