Other than having to make a workaround by creating an auto-syncing script through at least, like, probably 2 other apps… hmm…

Syncthing-Fork
It’s been around for several years.
I mean aside from that, since the fork is based on the original. I already use it, but people are fearing that it, too, will follow soon.

Unlikely. The maintainer was pushing updates more frequently and sooner than the original app. it’ll be fine
Otherwise, look into cryptomator. A completely different approach, it makes use of your existing cloud storage accounts, but at least more private then using those directly. It probably requires internet access all the time a file is accessed, though, but check the docs to be sure.

Maybe I’m out of the loop but, follow what soon? Did something happen to Syncthing?

Clarification: syncthing was not discontinued, only the (3rd party) most popular android app for it was.

Its discontinued by the dev because of google play restrictions so last update is in december 2024

That’s incredibly sad. Hopefully Syncthing-fork can continue on.
