==== 2.2 Syncthing conflict with Immich ====

Didn’t we already set up syncthing to do this? Yes, we did!

I don’t want to use Immich to sync my phone’s '''DCIM/Camera''' folder, and then syncthing for everything else. In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to use Immich by itself to do this; Immich is for photos &amp; videos, it is not for Music, Documents, &amp; all the other folders on our phone. If we used syncthing for those files &amp; folders, and used Immich for photos/videos, that means we have two applications running at the same time, that do the same thing. This means 2 points of failure rather than 1.

Syncthing was designed with one purpose in mind; transfer files from device to device. I would prefer to use a tool that was designed for the job.

As a result, I am going to set up the <code>~/androidbackup/DCIM</code> folder as an '''external library''' in Immich.
