So, basically I want to sync with my pc the Yuzu save data. This save data are in the Android/data folder which is only accessible with root ,that I have, but SyncThing can't open that folder because the app hasn't root permission. At the end what should I do to sync that folder?

Just thinking out loud: could you move the yuzu data folder to a place that Syncthing can access and create a symlink from the original to the new location?

I think the biggest problem would be file ownership/permissions, but otherwise should work.

Sure, I see this solution online but I would a much automatic solution.

You could try syncthing-fork from fdroid ... it can be given root rights to access the data folder

I've been using Folder sync it seems to work pretty well, though I'm thinking about looking for something FOSS.
