Free options I have used are:
SyncThing
Resilio Sync

Yes, but those are not webdav.

This a fully webdav compliant client, which can be used in place of the Nextcloud Android client.

The difference is this is webdav and fully Nextcloud compliant.

Hi, thanks for your thread.

please note that EasySync will be free again from 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-07

Easysync is interesting and off to a good start. It seems to work well. I deleted it for now since the implementation is very “opinionated” - it backs up what it wants to and that is it.

I’m going to be keeping an eye on it’s progress for sure.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Mobile client not auto uploading

is two-way sync will blow up the phone storage? I have tons of files on the server?

Personally, I don’t think it makes sense to sync all the data on your Nextcloud with your phone, unless of course your Nextcloud is not publicly available or you’re often in areas where you have bad cell reception or if your cell provider imposes data caps.

But yeah, of course it will “bloat” your phones storage. I mean, the data you are going to synchronise with your phone will take up exactly the same amount of space on your phone as it does on the server.

No it won’t fill your phone’s storage: you can select the synced subfolder on you nas.
Your phone will only be synced with it.
For example for each phone I have in my family I have a sepcific folder to sync with.

You have an option to sync only on wifi. This will avoid using capped cellular network, it’s up to you.

About the storage, see the above answer: you don’t have to sync your whole NAS, you can select a specific folder for your sync.

I published a free trial version.
Feel free to try it

I see its availabe on FDroid, geat! is it possible to switch off 2way sync for some folders? so I can for example upload fotos from to phones in one folder and none are getting synced back to the other? thanks :slight_smile:

Doesn’t look like it, according to this: Allow to disable sync of file/folder deletion · Issue #53 · phpbg/easysync · GitHub

I seem to be not very smart, since I dont find anyone having the same question as me:
I installed the app from fdroid, I got it connected to my nextcloud. Syncing is kind of an issue, but I would assume its connect to my missunderstanding the concept:
what does it sync? I cant really give it a folder/path to sny to, with, into, anything.
I was expecting a local source/target, and a remote source/target (since its forced two-way sync, its always both, I got that. which is fine)

But i can only chose the remote folder.
where/what does it sync from my phone? :smiley: and how do I control that? Thanks a lot!

The exact list of what is synced is available here
By default everything in this list is synced, but you can decide what to exclude.

The names of source folder are preserved, you have no control on it, for the sake of simplicity.

ahh, now i understand. thank you very much for the clarification. now I also understand where the options in the advanced synchronization settings come from. I think I have an idea how to get a good workaround, if the syncing will work at some point.
i will have a look at the existing feature requests and might add one :wink: thanks a lot for the quick support!
