How can I implement this scenario?

We have 3 android devices and a windows server

1) I would like to do a one way sync of a folder to my server from device A

2) I would like to do a one way sync of a folder to my server from device B

3) I would like to do a two way sync of a folder to my server from device C that includes the one way folders from device a & b on the server,

Is this possible with Resilio Sync?

So I guess I figured it out on my own (with some help from past posts).

I was able to cobble together a working solution. 😄

1) Device A & B doing one way sync to their own folder on server.

2) Device C doing a 2 way sync to own folder which contains sub folders for device A & B

3) Create a symbolic link from device A folder to subfolder under device C
 

mklink /d x:\Resilio\DeviceC\DeviceA\Media X:\Resilio\DeviceA\Media

4) Same for device B

mklink /d x:\Resilio\DeviceC\DeviceB\Media X:\Resilio\DeviceB\Media


This allowed for devices A & B to backup the files to the server and remove them locally if space was needed and device C would be able to see those backed up files without any user intervention within a few mins.
