Just installed Syncthing on my Scale server. It looks like it doesn't have users but rather folder IDs that are then used to sync devices. One of the cool features of Nextcloud is the ability to share files with other users. Can this be done with Syncthing?

This is correct - Syncthing will notify you of sync conflicts, and will store the conflicting files in a subfolder of the sync job on each device.
