Hey gang, do you have any suggestions for moving data from my phone to my jellyfin server? I tried using the daemon tools on F-Droid and could not for the life of me figure them out.

I was using sync thing and syncfork previously, but they didn't allow me to sort my new files into the existing structures without getting on the computer and sorting them that way. Id like to cut out the middleman that is my desktop and just move things directly to the server if possible.

Yea, that's a challenging part for sure, one that I still deal with.

It can be done, but you need to configure the sync jobs "just so". Send only from the phone, don't sync deletions, etc.

In the past I've setup a master folder on my phone and used subfolders for "upload only" Syncthing shares. Then wherever I put a file on my phone it gets synced to the appropriate folder on my server.
