With the official app no longer updated (i don't trust the forks), i'm looking for alternatives for 2 way sync between my Android phone and my Linux server.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?

I know this may be contentious but can someone give an update/summary on what's going on with SyncthingFork on fdroid? And is it correct that SyncthingFork from GooglePlay is ok for now?

I've yet to upgrade from version 1 because of all the noise, is it still at an impasse, or has it resolved?

The original maintainer of Syncthing Fork (Catfriend1) passed the code, keys and stuff to another user, not publicly but behind the scenes.

This was not well received by the community and the majority jumped to the Google play version (published by nel0x but based on Catfriend1's code before the handout).

After some hiccups, nel0x and the new maintainer are joining forces to co-develop and publish the Fork on f-droid and gplay going forward.
