Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android (programming.dev)

With the official app no longer updated (i don't trust the forks), i'm looking for alternatives for 2 way sync between my Android phone and my Linux server. I've tried nextcloud a long time ago and the experience was very bad. Are there any new tools that i can use?

@NullPointerException

Probably https://opencloud.eu/ could be an alternative.

Didn't nextcloud fork from that because reasons?

edit to add: no, that was ownCloud. You are in a twisty maze of project names, all different.

@mjr I think, you are writing about Owncloud.

Opencloud is newly written with Go, so it can't be a fork of PHP driven Owncloud or Nextcloud.

How is the file sync integration? Even some of the commercial products have shocking implementations.

Does it support shadow copies of files?

@Nighed Sorry, but I currently don't use Opencloud and I don't have insights in the code.

But maybe the code itself has an answer for your question.

the answer is yes! https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/welcome/features#files-on-demand

may try to give it a spin later this year
