The android development always just seemed… off, idk, I just got weird feelings about it and the fork. So I switched my family to use termux and termux:boot to run syncthing instead, it works fine.
I have no idea what you mean. I just had to set this up once on my parents’ phones and now it works all the time, even when they change networks, no port forwarding or any interaction required on their part. Rsync is a cli that requires an existing network connection between two devices, both online, and doesn’t watch files or create a file version history. It is an entirely different tool.

Does running termux all of the time affect battery much?
Not as much as the syncthing apps.
At that point why not use rsync?

Ahh, makes sense for your use case, then.
Rather than ST I used to use rsync+ssh, and just had a Docker SSH container running with users in the ENV.
I’ve switched to WG in all devices since then, though.
