Description:

This review examines Syncthing-Fork for Android, a wrapper for Syncthing that enhances the user experience with significant improvements over the original Android UI.

<ul>
 <li>The user interface provides clear visibility into folder, device, and overall sync progress.</li>
 <li>Featuring the "Syncthing Camera," an optional utility allowing users to take photos collaboratively with friends or partners, which are stored in a shared private Syncthing folder without relying on cloud services. Note: This feature is currently in beta.</li>
 <li>A "Sync every hour" option is available, designed to conserve battery life.</li>
 <li>Users can apply individual sync conditions for each device and folder, allowing for greater customization.</li>
 <li>The recent changes interface enables users to click and open files directly.</li>
 <li>Modifications to folder and device configurations can be performed irrespective of whether Syncthing is running.</li>
 <li>The UI provides explanations regarding the operational status of Syncthing, enhancing user comprehension.</li>
 <li>Addressing previous concerns, the "Battery eater" issue has been resolved.</li>
 <li>The application facilitates the discovery of other Syncthing devices on the same network, simplifying the process of adding them.</li>
 <li>Support for two-way synchronization on external SD cards has been implemented since Android 11.</li>
</ul>

Syncthing-Fork for Android offers a dedicated Android interface as opposed to the built-in Web UI provided by Syncthing. It serves as an open-source alternative to proprietary file synchronization services, ensuring that users have complete control over their data — where it is stored, whether it is shared with third parties, and how it is transferred online.

The goals of this fork include:

<ul>
 <li>Collaborative development and testing of enhancements with community input.</li>
 <li>More frequent releases of the wrapper to promptly identify and resolve bugs arising from updates to the Syncthing submodule.</li>
 <li>Configuration options within the UI for users to enable or disable various enhancements as desired.</li>
</ul>

A comparative overview reveals that:

<ul>
 <li>Both versions utilize the Syncthing binary compiled from official GitHub sources.</li>
 <li>The synchronization functionality and reliability are contingent on the version of the Syncthing binary submodule in use.</li>
 <li>The fork maintains compatibility with upstream development; improvements may be integrated into the main project when appropriate.</li>
 <li>There are disparities in strategy and release frequency between the fork and the upstream project.</li>
 <li>The wrapper focuses exclusively on providing an Android UI experience.</li>
</ul>
