Hi i receive this Alert.

2022-02-01 09:34:43: Syncthing should not **run as a privileged or system user**. Please consider using a normal user account.

Do you have plan to modify this ?

Do you have plan to upgrade in 1.18.n

Cheers.

If we run it under non-privileged user it will not able to sync files from other apps, unfortunately I am not sure what to do here.

Do you want to help us and create a pull request with updated version on this line: [syncthing/.drone.jsonnet at master · syncloud/syncthing · GitHub](https://github.com/syncloud/syncthing/blob/master/.drone.jsonnet#L3)

It will automatically build and let us know if it is ready to be pushed to the store.
