About this app

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.
* Supports two-way synchronization on external SD card since Android 11.

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
* 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.

Ratings and reviews

Great app. One ask: Can you please add a way to hide notifications, specifically do not show the "Syncthing is running: ----" notification? There is a constant notification on my phone now that just tells me that syncthing is running. It's a background task, so it shouldn't constantly be a notification. I cannot seem to disable notifications in order to stop it, or the app fails to work. Edit: Thanks for the reply dev

This app is incredible. I love syncthing. It didn't used to be an issue (while using this app), but I keep getting sync-conflict obsidian-notes files being created. I don't think it's this app bc/ u guys are clearly pros, but I only have a single other device that I ever operate syncthing with in the relevant circle. Thank you for bringing a better Syncthing app to Android - please pls hold the highest due diligence to keep it as such. You all are highly appreciated. Love sent on Github <3

There was a relatively long running issue with minimum free disk space setting not working on my Pixel 2 XL phone and hoping for a fix I decided to try this fork of the app. Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem UNTIL by hope I emailed the developer with details of the issue. The developer is AWESOME...he replied very quickly and dove right into figuring out what the problem was and actually fixed it in a very short amount of time. With the setting now working as expected, I am up and running smoothly! This is one of my most favorite and useful apps yet!
