Syncthing is fine and secure, but be absolutely sure you set up some kind of file versioning for the shared folder. at least a trashcan versioning, if not better. protects you against accidental deletion
Something I never fully understood with file versioning is on which side to apply it. The source or the receiving end?
There is no source or receiving end. Syncthing is omnidirectional synchronization. Versioning is applied across all syncs.
on the receiving end. Syncthing cant act to keep a version before you delete a file locally, but it can move a remotely deleted file to the version control instead of deleting it
