Syncthing

Please make yourself aware of the Ultra.cc Fair Usage Policy.

Directly pointing Syncthing to sync your cloud storage will create extreme strain on the disk and could cause a 24-hour ban on accessing your cloud storage. Additionally, pointing Syncthing to an active download directory, enabling the Watch for Changes feature, or setting a higher scan interval than the default value, can very quickly result in a FUP warning. Take proper precautions while configuring Syncthing.

It is your responsibility to ensure usage is within acceptable limits.

Syncthing is a free, open-source, peer-to-peer file synchronization application that's written in Go. It synchronizes files between two or more computers securely and seamlessly.

For more information, follow this link.

In this section, we'll be setting up Syncthing for the first time. For this guide, we'll assume you want to set up a folder on your Ultra.cc service as your "dropbox," which will be synced automatically to your Windows PC.

Prerequisites

Download and install Syncthing on both your Ultra.cc service and the devices you prefer. You may refer to Syncthing Downloads to get which apps to use for your preferred platform. For this guide, we will be installing SyncTrazor along with Syncthing on the Ultra.cc service.
Connect to your Ultra service via SSH and create a directory that will be used to sync data between your Ultra service and your local machine. For this guide, we will be creating a directory called Syncthing. Also, get the absolute path of the directory by doing pwd as shown below.

docs@spica:~$ mkdir Syncthing
docs@spica:~$ ls
bin  Downloads  files  media  openvpn  Syncthing  watch  www
docs@spica:~$ cd Syncthing/
docs@spica:~/Syncthing$ pwd
/home/ultradocs/Syncthing

Do NOT attempt to mount your Rclone remote directly on your home directory. This will lead to instabilities.
Instead, always create and use an empty folder within your home directory.

Configure Syncthing

Upon installation and entering the set credentials, the Allow Anonymous Usage Reporting? window appears. Read over this and select if you agree with data reporting or not.
Click Add folder.
Then enter the following information:

Folder Label: {Any}
Folder Path: {output of pwd}

Click Save.

Configure SyncTrazor

These are instructions for Windows using SyncTrazor, but it should be similar to all other devices that support Syncthing.

Get the Syncthing device ID of your Ultra service by going to Actions > Show ID.

Copy the generated ID above.

Launch SyncTrazor, the Allow Anonymous Usage Reporting? window appears. Read over this and select if you agree with data reporting or not.

Once that's done, click Save.
Your synced directory on your Ultra service will show up on SyncTrazor in %HOMEPATH%. For this case, it's in %HOMEPATH%\\Syncbox
To sync files to and from your Ultra service, just copy/move files from your Ultra service/PC to Syncbox, and it will automatically sync.
