When I tried stock Syncthing for Android it drained my battery very quickly. I use Syncthing-Fork which only checks for changes once an hour.

Can’t you specify this with the normal app?

I would never use it in battery mode, only plugged in, that is how I have my Swiftbackup, Pocket Casts and Feeder downloads schedule.

I honestly don’t remember, I just googled “Syncthing drains battery” or something, someone recommended Fork, it worked.

The one issue I have with syncthing is the abundance of .sync-conflict files it will generate sometimes.

You can choose which to keep in the web interface. That’s a feature preventing data loss. You can choose to just delete all of these files but that would mean Syncthing might use the wrong data.

I always had a hard time wrapping my head around the setup. I mostly use Nextcloud for sync now.

Interestingly I’ve found Syncthing far far easier to setup than Nextcloud :D

Nice but what low quality post is that. Not even a “decentralized sync setup”, just an F-Droid link? I see this with Git* projects too. If its not yours, and you dont really have anythings special to say on it, maybe dont use it to get likes
