my solution for android file sync is always rsync with termux. i just have a shell script for my desired operation and have the shortcut on my home screen using termux widgets. it's not automatic but i just run it periodically when i make some changes and want to sync.
You could even trigger the widget with tasker periodically to make it more automated
