Which syncthing app is recommended nowadays? Does anyone know their trade-offs? The screenshot is from F-Droid, with the first three on the list updated quite recently.
I'm mostly interested in reputation, stability and no additional security overhead compared to upstream Syncthing project. (But still auto-disabled sync when on low battery, or without WiFi.)
And a reminder. The old Syncthing Android is out-of-date for 17 months now. Repeating this a little bit in case someone didn't notice yet.
I switched to BasicSync a few days ago. No idea about reputation.
It's a thin wrapper around Syncthing, which just gives you access to the web-UI, and can pause syncing depending on different conditions, like whether you're on battery or a mobile connection.
Just feels like a sensible approach to me. I don't need a native UI for setting up the syncing once in a blue moon. Obviously, you still don't know that it isn't malware, but I don't need to trust the author as much that they'll keep maintaining it, because it's magnitudes less work to do so. And it's just as well easier for a fork to succeed, should the author disappear.
Adding to your points, it's also 27 Mb, instead of 64 Mb Syncthing-fork ๐ค
(As in, most phones would handle +37 Megabytes, but less code = less things going mysteriously wrong and less attack surface.)
