Syncthing is absolutely amazing, but it doesn't serve the same purpose as google drive, drive is more of a backup solution. syncthing is not that.

With your current setup if you get some ransomware that encrypts your files in any of your devices you'll lose access to your files in all of them.

Syncthing is S tier software, but it's explicitly not a backup solution.
