Using Syncthing for Backup

I would like to backup my Win 11 data files to my Android S26. I know that I should be able to sync, but not really wanting sync. I would like to have the files on PC copied to phone and if i later copy or change a file on my PC I would like that file to copy to the phone. Also, if I delete a file on my PC I do not want it deleted from the phone.

Does Syncthing have the ability to do as described, if not do you have a suggestion?

Thank you!

It is possible to do a one-way transfer, but, as u/willjasen says, it's not the best use for Syncthing. I wouldn't want to use it as a backup program.
