And I'm glad they didn't. The mere existence of such a feature would make me worry about unintentionally enabling it and exposing private data as a result.

You don’t expose data just by enabling the sharing, because it’s only accessible via a URL containing a hash-like identifier that can’t be guessed. It’s not more realistic than someone guessing your Syncthing password.

Unfortunately this is not true. Your browser likes to send any URLs it comes across to indexing services. If you share the link via Discord or whatever, it'll be scrapped.

This is also just very outside Syncthing's functionality.

You still have to manually create the URL first. You don't need to worry about accidentally having everything exposed because the feature is enabled.

The context was specifically "as a Dropbox replacement".

It is a problem if you use Edge: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35703789

This is probably better done via a different app.

I sometimes use croc to do one time file sending.
