There is an Android Syncthing fork [1] which is active and 1.3K stars (for whatever that's worth).

[1] https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android

Good to know, although the Readme says:

"Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app."

  • It's on f-droid rather than google play.

    I think for the people interested in using Syncthing rather than Dropbox or Google's syncing option, that's not _that_ much of a problem.

I've been using that one for a long time now. I recall that when I got started with Syncthing (some months to a year or two ago?), it seemed to have been the folk wisdom to use Syncthing-Fork, but I don't recall what the reason was.

Weirdly enough, I cannot find either on Play right now..even though I have it (the original, I believe) installed through Play.

  • > Head to the "releases" section or F-Droid for builds.

    It's in the description on GitHub. Get F-Droid.

Seems to work. Exported the config of the other one and imported it in this one. Seems all the settings are there. Sync seems to work too. Kudos to the devs.
