Comments on Syncthing for Android

★★★★★ It lets you sync stuff across different phones and computers. It also makes it so that you don't need a cloud storage provider if all you care about is syncing or accessing the same set of files from any device (like me). Great app!

★★★★★ This is the best solution for syncing projects between different devices that doesn't rely on the cloud (aka someone else's computer lol)

★★★★★ The application works well with the windows' client. It's feature-rich and syncs files, the setup is a bit technical.

★★☆☆☆ Scam and Intrusive, just like most sync apps, it wants ALL FILES ACCESS on Android while Android 14 supports only granting one specific folder to an app. It scams for permissions to steal your files.

★★☆☆☆ You broke it on 11-15-23! Nice work! The synced folder is now sent only, which means you can't use it to sync your phone with any device that has updated files in it. It's pretty much useless now.

★★☆☆☆ Use at your own discretion. I set it up to back up my photos and delete on current device. It worked for a while, but at some point it stopped backing up the photos and just deleted all my photos on current device since they weren't backed up. Even worse, I can't find the deleted photos in my current pixel's trash. Guess Sync thing permanently deletes instead of sending to trash. Disappointed.
