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 The old Syncthing Android is out-of-date for 17 months now.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.

Adding to your points, it's also 27 Mb, instead of 64 Mb Syncthing-fork 🤔

(As in, most phones would handle +37 Megabytes, but less code = less things going mysteriously wrong and less attack surface.)

Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes.

Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it's transmitted over the internet.
