More About Syncthing-Fork

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

syncthing-android/

Syncthing-Fork for Android is an application that allows for easy synchronization of folders, devices, and overall progress through a user-friendly interface. It also includes a feature called "Syncthing Camera" which allows users to take pictures with friends or partners on two phones and store them in a shared and private Syncthing folder without the use of cloud services. This feature is currently in beta stage. Additionally, users can choose to sync their data every hour to save battery life. The application also allows for individual sync conditions to be applied per device and per folder.

The UI of Syncthing-Fork for Android includes a recent changes section where users can click to open files. Changes to folder and device configurations can be made even when Syncthing is not running, and the UI provides explanations for why Syncthing is or is not running. The application also addresses the "battery eater" problem and allows users to easily discover and add other Syncthing devices on the same network. It also supports two-way synchronization on external SD cards for devices running Android 11.

The main goal of this fork is to develop and test enhancements with the community, and to release updates more frequently to identify and fix any bugs caused by changes in the Syncthing submodule. The fork also aims to make these enhancements configurable in the UI, giving users the ability to turn them on and off. At the time of writing, both the upstream and fork versions contain the Syncthing binary built from the official source on GitHub, but the fork has a different strategy and release frequency. The fork also focuses solely on the wrapper containing the Android UI.

The source code for Syncthing-Fork for Android can be found on GitHub, along with helpful articles, a FAQ, and a wiki. Users can also contribute to the translation of the application through a hosted platform. Overall, Syncthing-Fork for Android provides a reliable and decentralized alternative to proprietary sync and cloud services, giving users full control over their data and how it is stored and shared.
