Although normal versioning causes the deleted files names to get changed to reflect the date of deletion, if you want to keep the original names you’d need to enable “trash bin” file versioning which stores deleted files with their original name. But then, deleting/modifying a file a second tome replaces the old version inside .stversions .
Btw, with file versioning if you change the name of a folder, a copy of it and all its contents also is stored .stversions, so dont rename your folder with 400gb in videos unless you want to fill then disk too fast.
Syncthing is technically to synchronize data across different devices in real time (which I do with my phone), but I also use it to transfer data weekly via wi-fi to my old 2013 laptop with a 500GB HDD and Linux Mint (I only boot it to transfer data, and even then I pause the transfers to this device when its done transferring stuff) so I can have larger data backups that wouldn’t fit in my phone, since LocalSend is unreliable for large amounts of data while Synchting can resume the transfer if anything goes wrong. On top of that Syncthing also works in Windows and Android out of the box.
