With the official app no longer updated (i don’t trust the forks), i’m looking for alternatives for 2 way sync between my Android phone and my Linux server.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

      There is an option in the Folderpair for instant sync, I believe that is what you’re looking for. I’ve never used it, as I also just do scheduled syncs

        Instant sync only works for local folders it can monitor. Since it doesnt have a client on the other end, there’s no way to make this happen (it would have to monitor the destination).

        This would require keeping a connection open between devices, which is a high cost from a network (and especially battery) perspective.

        Its a great app, I’ve used it for 10+ years, paid for it 2 or 3 times because it’s worth it.

      I should add that I do use it for backups, it’s a great program, but I’ve only ever used it for one-way scheduled syncs.
