Synching from Laptop (conf file) to Phone

Hello. I have been familiar with torrent for a long time, but recently trying to migrate to resilio (due to my frustration with dropbox and the limitations).

I have a Laptop (running Arch Linux) with all my data. I have set up a config file for a couple of my folders. I have posted my code below, or it's in a pastebin here.

I want to sync my Music folder to my android phone. (Samsung Galaxy S7) I installed the Sync app, and entered the "secret" of the Music folder as a key in my phone, and directed it into an empty folder called Music in my sd card. After this, my phone says it sees my Laptop as a peer, but I can't see any files in the Music folder. And it says it has synced. I check my ~/Music folder on my laptop, and it is well populated.

The reason I'm using the JSON config file is I am more comfortable with manual configs over a GUI.
