Don't share folders with all known devices

[lapo-luchini]

I added two devices, let's say A and B, the first offers the directory Apples the second offers the directory Bananas; on A I got a pop-up asking if I want to accept directory Apples from (mobile device running Lite version).
I didn't check the internals of the protocol, is this expected?

See this issue that you opened yourself a year ago ;)

Ehm, sorry, memory can be fickle. 😅

Adding some details that I'm encountering:

• the folder that is shared back by the syncthing-lite client has a folder-id that equals the folder-name.
• clicking "later" on the share request will immediately bring the request back. Are we supposed to actually add this share?

[Nutomic]

No, you can ignore that folder. Its just that the library doesnt yet support selective sharing of folders, so every folder is shared with every device.

There are two options for this:

1. Only tell a device about a folder when the device told this App about it (save it locally) - problem: Knowing a folder id is enough to trick this App to eventually do file uploads to this device
2. Add a UI to select devices for folders, accept the first device which shares a folder automatically
