What is this SyncThing fork? Is it on F-Droid or something? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because everyone praises SyncThing but it straight up does not work. I can get it to sync once, then the next day it will just not connect at all (Android 15 P9Pro/CachyOS)
I started using syncthing after reading all that praise on lemmy. It deserves all the praise it can get, it’s easy to setup and works perfectly.
what “crazy pills” are you taking?

An alternative to Syncthing is Resilio Sync. I use both, for different purposes.
Resilio is a battery eater on mobile, but it is a bit more consistent than Syncthing (though after 10+ years and probably terabytes of sync, it’s not like ST is problematic).
RS offers Selective Sync, so I don’t have to sync an entire folder, but can pick a file to sync “right now”. This is really useful for my media folder (~2.5 TB), since I don’t have that kind of free space on my phone. From anywhere I can fire up RS on my phone and grab whatever movie I want (or any file from my laptop, other phones etc, because all those files are synced to my server using Syncthing).
