I love syncthing, but never managed to get permissions to work right on any of my android phones. I chalk that up to phone vendor fuckery though.

    I use Syncthing-Fork on my android phone, which seems to work fine.

    I'll have to try it the next time I have time, but I'm also trying to switch to a real linux phone. Right now, I have to wait for a friend to travel to the EU to be there while Pine64 has what I'm looking for in stock.

    And doesn't ship PinePhone Pro motherboards to the US at all.

    I didn't get into details because it wasn't important, but they're always be someone going "wELL AKTsHUally". I already own a PinePhone, but it died. The easiest solution would be to get a new MB and swap it in.

    You should know that there is no longer an official syncthing app and a clone has taken its place. It's buggy but it works.

    Permissions are a bit tricky to set up but I believe the clone app does it correctly by asking for full file browsing permissions.

    Just to be clear, there is no official app for Android (and, I assume iPhone). If you are using SyncThing on desktop or laptop computers, there are downloads at the official syncthing.net site. On Linux, it should be available from your distribution.
