I tend to re-install Linux often. Sync is great for this, except it defaults to creating and syncing every single folder which is about 4x the size of my laptop SSD. Is there a setting for sync.conf to set the "default connect folder mode" setting to disconnected by default?

I have a home linux server / media box running Resilio sync. It keeps a backup of all my important folders and is always online so I can sync when I'm away from home. My partner wants to use this too, but I can't figure out if Sync can handle multiple users while keeping our list of folders separate from each other. It would be nice if a single instance of sync could handle this. But even running two instances would be fine.... if they can co-exist? I'm considering upgrading from a single to family licence. Perhaps you can set up the server to be it's own separate user? Can you then have it auto-accept anything shared with it? Has anyone managed to get a setup like this working?
