I tend to prefer “file centered” apps, there’s some cool one you’d use with Syncthing? My favourite is KeePassDX; I would love a notes app with a ‘material you’ UI.

    You don’t need a server at all. Syncthing is peer to peer between devices. So you can just have it sync between two phones, or a phone and a laptop. They don’t always have to be online either.

      Interesting, would you mind explaining how I could use it to connect 2 (or more) android devices together? Where would it have to be run ‘from’ or installed ‘to’ ? From what I’ve gathered, it appears that it just runs from a central point - ie a server and that it keeps clients updated. Is that not correct?

      If it’s possible to run Syncthing between multiple devices that would be great, but, I’m not sure - in my head, how this functions between devices. Consider me a novice - could you please explain?

      Many thanks for your reply.

        You just install it on both devices, and then add the devices together using the QR code’s.

        You then add the folder you want to share, and select the device you want to share it with. On thr device you’ve chosen to share it with, you will get a prompt. You press accept and select the target folder.

        The devices will now sync that folder.

          Excellent! Got it installed now and it seems to work. It was the prompt bit I was getting confused with - I thought that I’d need to have both folders under the same structure on both machines. This is a brilliant app. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
