Thank you so much for the help! I got it working I didn't realize that
usermod was backwards and that I need to reboot / start a new login to
see the effects.

Hello,
I'm new to OpenBSD and I'm unfamiliar with permissions in general so I'm a
little lost. I installed syncthing, and it creates the default folder in
/var/syncthing/Sync which is owned by _syncthing and has the group
_syncthing.
I'm able to read the contents of the directory, but I'm unable to write into
them. I tried adding myself to the _syncthing group by doing:
usermod -G jag _syncthing
This must be the other way round: usermod -G <group> <username>
Don't forget that you'll need a new login to notice the effects of this.
But it seems that I'm still unable to write to the directory. I know I can
change the ownership of the files by using chmod -R, but new files will
still have the same _syncthing user and group and it seems off to keep
changing permissions of the files.
How do I enable the user `jag` to read and write to things owned by the
daemon `_syncthing`?
Thank you so much!
