@fdroidorg at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that’s been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers.
I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer.
this is extremely shady and it’s just looking worse as time goes on. I’ll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post.
I just want to sync my music between my computer and phone and I really can’t be arsed with this drama.
If only tech companies weren’t assholes and actually developed desired features instead of the shit they have wasted our time with…
Yeah, I’ve considered setting up a scrappy rsync solution, because Syncthing felt like overkill for that use-case and like it might stop working one day.
There’s the Syncopoli app on F-Droid, which hasn’t been updated in three years, but it seems to just be a thin wrapper around rsync, which has been stable for decades, so I still kind of trust it more to continue working. Or at the very least, if I need to fix something or update the app myself, I feel like I’ll be able to do it.
I don’t think its open source, but ive had no issues with Resilio Sync in the past. Works on all major platforms.
I’ve not used it myself, but I’ve heard good things about KDE Connect, which supposedly can do this and has no controversy of which I’m aware. (It does not require KDE, apparently.)
It can send back and forth, it won’t auto-sync
Gotcha. I wish you luck with your quest.
