    I use Syncthing-Fork fairly often, but the problem is that they tried to do to much that Syncthing does already, and BasicSync, appears to have basically fixed my grips by just focusing on basic sync.

    Has anyone used BasicSync and can talk to how it affects battery? One of the biggest problems with STF was just how much background usage it used.

    After the discontinuation of the Android release, I did briefly use the fork- but the project origin and potential reliability were dubious, and it didn't sit right with me. In the end, I switched to simply running syncthing inside Termux. This solution works absolutely fine, and you can access the web interface for full customisation of the service as you can on desktop.
