Which syncthing app is recommended nowadays? Does anyone know their trade-offs? The screenshot is from F-Droid, with the first three on the list updated quite recently.

I'm mostly interested in reputation, stability and no additional security overhead compared to upstream Syncthing project. (But still auto-disabled sync when on low battery, or without WiFi.)

And a reminder. The old Syncthing Android is out-of-date for 17 months now. Repeating this a little bit in case someone didn't notice yet.

Syncthing-fork is the fork of discontinued official app. I use it, and it's nice. SyncUp also looks good.

    UPD: actually, after considering @trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone's points here, I've realized that BasicSync really appeals to me. It's a minimal layer above the main Syncthing project. The web interface is good enough for me (I actually really like it!)

    Thanks! Looks like a solid oprltion based on the comments so far.

    // I've actually tried Termux-based solution first, but quickly realised it's not meant for non-technical people. And I like compatibility and shared knowledge with that group, so for now it's Syncthing-fork for me.

    EDIT: switched to BasicSync, see the other post.
