Description by nel0x(from Google Play)
π Major Upgrade to Syncthing Version 2
β οΈ Important: After installing this update, do not close or force-stop the app on first launch! It will perform a one-time database migration that may take some time depending on the size of your setup. Interrupting this process can damage your configuration or data.
Before upgrading: Please create a full backup of your data and export the app's configuration.
This update represents a major version change from v1.30.0.3 to v2.0.9 of Syncthing-Fork. The internal database structure and configuration handling have been significantly updated.
To read more about the v2 milestone, please visit: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v2.0.9
If you prefer to remain on v1 (not recommended), please switch to the builds available on GitHub at: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/releases
Disclaimer: This upgrade is provided as is without any warranty. The developer cannot be held responsible for any data loss or configuration issues resulting from this update.
This is a fork of the Syncthing-Android wrapper for Syncthing that brings major enhancements like: * Folder, device and overall sync progress can easily be read off the UI. * "Syncthing Camera" - an optional feature (with optional permission to use the camera) where you can take pictures with your friend, partner, ... on two phones into one shared and private Syncthing folder. No cloud involved. - FEATURE CURRENTLY IN BETA STAGE - * "Sync every hour" to save even more battery * Individual sync conditions can be applied per device and per folder * Recent changes UI, click to open files. * Changes to folder and device config can be made regardless if Syncthing is running or not * UI explains why syncthing is running or not. * "Battery eater" problem is fixed. * Discover other Syncthing devices on the same network and easily add them. * Supports two-way synchronization on external SD card since Android 11.
Syncthing-Fork for Android is a wrapper for Syncthing that provides an Android UI instead of Syncthing's built-in Web UI. Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet.
Goals of the fork: * Develop and try out enhancements together with the community. * Release the wrapper more frequently to identify and fix bugs caused by changes in the syncthing submodule * Make enhancements configurable in the UI, users should be able to turn them on and off
Comparison between upstream and fork at the time of writing this: * Both contain the syncthing binary built from the official source at GitHub * Syncing functionality and reliability depends on the syncthing binary submodule version. * Fork gets along with upstream and sometimes they pick up my improvements. * Strategy and release frequency is different * Only the wrapper containing the Android UI is addressed by the fork.

Awesome app! I have been using this app for 2 1/2 years. Its free, secure and great if you want privacy from the Big Tech like 1drive. I sync across Linux and Windows 11. There is a learning curve. Look for videos on YouTube

I actually want to donate money for the devs of this!! Really saved me. I can use obsidian across apple, windows, and android.
Literally the only option available to use Sync Thing on phone. Thank you for keeping this alive. π Works as described.

I can hardly complain at all, it works so well when it works which is 99 percent of the time for me. I find it eats the majority of my battery on my phone, even on days of heavy streaming service usage, so -1 star there. This can be managed with timed syncs but if I edit my synced folder with that setting you have to disable it to get a manual sync to other devices immediately. I can only imagine this battery usage issue is because there is no low-cost way to scan for edited files on Android

Very glitchy. Great idea but it says "out of sync" when it works perfectly, and it says "up to date" when it's not. I display conflicts when there are no conflicts, and it says nothing when the app is broken.

Unfortunately it's unusable with how limited its view of the Android directory it has for what I need. Was trying to use to sync a folder in my Termux directory, but it can't find it like Total Commander file manager can.

Complete trash. I've tried everything trying to sync it with another device and nothing happened except battery drain. It's total trash with no instructions.

Good luck getting this app to stop spitting out sync conflicts like crazy without ever attempting to upload even one file. Too unreliable. Switched to a different app which DOES work with Sync Thing on Linux.... there's a lot more options in a certain app store which Google Play has banned. ;)
