Seafile vs Syncthing-Fork
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Seafile
Client for the Seafile cloud file server and project management software. If you are in a small team with a few people, you can create a group in Seafile and invite other team members. Team members can then maintain file libraries together and collaborate around them. You can try the demo, sign up for an account at the website, or since the server-side is also free-as-in-freedom, it can be installed on any server and configured to work with the app.
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.
