Is there a simple guide for setting it up for the first time to sync between an Android phone and a Windows laptop? I downloaded what I needed to but I'm kinda confused.

One thing is how do I change what folder it's synchronizing with on the laptop?

There should be an Add Folder option right?

You simply install it on each device, add some folders on each device, then pair a folder on one device with a folder on the other device and choose how the files should be copied (only one direction, the other direction, or both) and if you want to also sync deletions.

Syncthing is not actually the hard part, the hard part is how the two devices can talk to each other over the internet. I've set mine up to only talk over Tailscale (by using their Tailscale names in Syncthing).
