Syncthing still works like that. It’s completely self hostable. I have it on a pi 1B+ lol

I have it but it eats up battery on the phones and the Dev left so it's probably going to go caput at some point.

You really need to clarify your comment, as it's already causing confusion.

  1. The official Syncthing project is going strong, and is not the same thing as the Android app.
  2. The Android app was discontinued late last year due to Google's increasingly difficult requirements to publish on the Play Store.
  3. Syncthing-Fork is now what Syncthing recommends for Android users.

Aw man, I really love syncthing, especially across my computers/backup server at home. I don’t even know what I’d use instead

Syncthing isn't going anywhere. The Android app is the only thing that was dropped, and that was only because of Google's increasingly-difficult requirements to publish on the Play Store.

Syncthing-Fork is the spiritual successor to the original Android app and can be found on F-Droid.

I know there's a fork. I'm hoping it picks up devs from where its at. It works beautifully.

Syncthing was only ever self-hosted...
