About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Works very well after setup. Quite technical- can be confusing to new users. Inconsistent in recognizing when other devices are online, for reasons I cannot identify. I worry that the Android app being some versions behind desktop may cause issues. Overall a good experience but I wish I could find out why it doesn't see my other devices sometimes.

Glorious. Install on multiple phones and PCs and you can set folders to be push only, pull only, or full sync. Works over Wi-fi and over mobile data. I now have a folder on my PC that gets every single picture I take with my phone within about 6 seconds no matter where I am. If I make any edits on the PC the version syncs to the phone. It's absolutely perfect and amazing that it's free.

Still the case now in mid 2022. I can no longer trust the "run conditions" settings built into three outside app. So I have to allow it to run on metered connections, which can be dangerous and costly. ORIGINAL REVIEW from mid 2021: Latest update makes it so my home's "T-Mobile Home Internet" (unmetered) WiFi is seen as metered to Syncthing and thus makes it not run.... Otherwise, this is one of my must have apps on any of my devices. Period.
