Hi everyone, I have an old Google account that I don’t use anymore, and I’m thinking about deleting it. But I’m worried I may have used that email address for government services or other important accounts in the past, and I don’t want to overlook something that could cause problems later.

What should I check before deleting it? Do you have similar experience?

    Accurate, all of it. You’ve got it.

    Two more (nice) things:

    1. (Assuming a star-shaped setup with a server at the centre) If you happen to make changes on the phone and another client device simultaneously (meaning: there is a collision of versions, since both have changes to write), Syncthing normally creates a “conflicted copy”. Whenever you see these files, you know that some changes couldn’t be merged and need to manually untangle the changes. No biggy normally.
    2. Syncthing does support versioning, meaning: Your server can store several versions of the same database file. That way, if you happen to accidentally delete some entries from your DB, you can revert back to an earlier copy of the file.
