Syncthin Fork - Individual sync conditions can be applied

[App] Syncthin Fork

Syncthin Fork : This is a fork of the Syncthing-Android wrapper for Syncthing that brings major enhancements like:

Folder, device and overall sync progress can easily be read off the UI.
“Syncthing Camera” – an optional feature (with optional permission to use the camera) where you can take pictures with your friend, partner, … on two phones into one shared and private Syncthing folder. No cloud involved. – FEATURE CURRENTLY IN BETA STAGE –
“Sync every hour” to save even more battery
Individual sync conditions can be applied per device and per folder
Recent changes UI, click to open files.
Changes to folder and device config can be made regardless if Syncthing is running or not
UI explains why syncthing is running or not.
“Battery eater” problem is fixed.
Discover other Syncthing devices on the same network and easily add them.
Android 8, 9 and 10 support.

Syncthing-Fork for Android is a wrapper for Syncthing that provides an Android UI instead of Syncthing’s built-in Web UI. Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it’s transmitted over the Internet.

Goals of the fork:
Develop and try out enhancements together with the community.
Release the wrapper more frequently to identify and fix bugs caused by changes in the syncthing submodule
Make enhancements configurable in the UI, users should be able to turn them on and off

Comparison between upstream and fork at the time of writing this:
Both contain the syncthing binary built from the official source at GitHub:syncthing/syncthing
Syncing functionality and reliability depends on the syncthing binary submodule version.
Fork gets along with upstream and sometimes they pick up my improvements.
Strategy and release frequency is different
Only the wrapper containing the Android UI is addressed by the fork.

Syncthin Fork user reviews :

Exactly what I needed, being able to sync between computer and phone’s sd card, had to read how to write to sd card but it did not hinder my needs.

Amazing, works flawlessly, but careful while setting it up. Make sure u are choosing the right folder properties.

Great free and open source solution! Takes some knowledge to set up, but in the end, it does everything I need! I’d love to see a notification feature, such that if a connection hasn’t been made in xx hr/days, I will be notified to fix the issue. Lost some data recently when my SD card corrupted and I didn’t realize syncthing service hadn’t been running on my server.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Please continue at github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android/issues/569 (Ticket)

Works, but the unecessaary camera icon is annoying. And, no, you CAN’T disable the camera icon if you use Android’s stock launcher. The app that creates the extraeneous icon needs to handle that natively. Please look into this.

I previously gave this app 5 stars, but now that it forces you to have an extra icon for a syncthing camera app that I do not use and for which I see no use, I can’t give it more than 3 stars. Yes, there is an option to hide the icon, but this does not work for all launchers and the app is still there even if the icon is hidden. Very disappointing.

Thomas Reiser
You can hide the camera launcher icon by going to the main app’s settings > behaviour and disabling the icon from there.

Really great, little tweaking around scan times helped reduce battery usage to minimal.
