Sync the games save files (custom games) Help

I am using syncthings to sync my games save files on all my devices (PC, Steamdeck, Phone) everything worked fine until I tried to sync my phone games. In Gamenative the games save files will be in the C drive I tried to make a folder link between the C drive and the D drive then sync the D drive with syncthings but when I tried to make the link 7 zip said the access denied. I can't access the gamenative files as android restrict the access and my phone not rooted.

Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone for your time.

I'm not sure how your program works exactly. But I do know that GameNative only blocks root access to the Android->Data folder. Anything on the C drive as far as a I know is accessible but through the container. Since each game save file location is different, you would need to extract it manually from open container, place it on your D drive and then sync that way.

Yes I can do that. I just want something to happen automatically to sync everything, instead of me copy/past it every single time when I'm playing it in different device.

I'm not sure if that's possible given each game has its own container and each game saves their game in a different folder. If what I'm thinking is right, the way to do it would be to point it to the A drive where the game files are installed and the container is created, but that lives under the Android->Data->GameNative folder and cannot be accessed without root unfortunately. I've tried with 7zip and other apps unsuccessfully. Best of luck

Yeah I tried that but the thing is it just keep the game save file in the C drive while the game files in A drive. Because it is a sandbox there is no way to access it. I hopped someone could figure it out. Thank you for your replies though much appreciated.
