What is syncthingtray-kde-plasma

Syncthing Tray is a user-friendly frontend for Syncthing.
This package makes Syncthing easier to use because it provides desktop integration; The familiarity of a desktop interface makes it easier to add shared folders and remote nodes, as well as to associate them with each other. It also provides quick access to the Device ID QR code so that phones can be more easily added to the mesh network.
Syncthing Tray is also typically used to enable, monitor, and control the Syncthing systemd service. Finally, a program called “syncthingctl” is provided as an additional remote control; it may be useful in scripts.
Syncthing is an application for decentralised file synchronisation and p2p folder sharing. It is an alternative solution to Dropbox, Google Drive, and WebDav. Syncthing also fulfills (or exceeds) the requirements for file synchronisation that users of iCloud, ownCloud, or Nextcloud expect.
This package contains the plasmoid for the KDE Plasma Desktop as well as a KIO plugin. The KIO plugin is typically appreciated for enabling Syncthing awareness in the Dolphin file manager, and the plasmoid provides superior integration with KDE Plasma when compared to the multidesktop tray applet.
