RSAF vs Syncthing-Fork
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
RSAF
RSAF is an Android document provider for the wonderful rclone. It allows any app that supports Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) to access remote files via rclone's backends. RSAF is not itself a file manager, but any file manager supporting SAF, including the one built into Android (Settings -> Storage -> Documents), can make use of it.
Syncthing-Fork
This is a fork of the Syncthing-Android wrapper for Syncthing that brings major enhancements like: * Folder, device and overall sync progress can easily be read off the UI. * "Sync every hour" to save even more battery * Individual sync conditions can be applied per device and per folder * Recent changes UI, click to open files. * Changes to folder and device config can be made regardless if Syncthing is running or not * UI explains why syncthing is running or not. * "Battery eater" problem is fixed. * Discover other Syncthing devices on the same network and easily add them. * Supports two-way synchronization on external SD card since Android 11. Syncthing-Fork for Android is a wrapper for Syncthing that provides an Android UI instead of Syncthing's built-in Web UI. Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet.
