Ratings and reviews

Very nice. I had to set a couple settings in my phone *and* the app for it to not close in the background. Sadly selecting file versioning often doesn't change the UI to select the correct settings. Selecting trash can sometimes doesn't do anything and sometimes simple versioning doesn't do anything, reopening the prompt changes the behaviour

Use at your own discretion. I set it up to back up my photos and delete on current device. It worked for a while, but at some point it stopped backing up the photos and just deleted all my photos on current device since they weren't backed up. Even worse, I can't find the deleted photos in my current pixel's trash. Guess Syncthing permanently deletes instead of sending to trash. Disappointed.

although useful, I must rate it one star because of the horrendous battery usage. This app will drain your phone in a matter of hours if you forget it running in the background. The only way to use it is to turn it on, sync your files, and exit right after.
