Syncthing is meant for synchronizing directories between two or more 
devices on a continuous basis (setup once and forget about it).

It is certainly possible to use it also to share files with third 
parties. The initial setup is identical regardless of who owns the 
devices, one just needs an alternative communication channel to exchange 
device IDs.

It is also more complicated than a "Share" button offered by some 
platforms or just sending a link (and password) via some other 
communication channel.

Kind regards,
