So… what is the proper way to get syncthing running on Android?
Comment on Where did the dust settle on Syncthing Fork?
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago Two built for Android, Syncthing-fork and BasicSync, and the latter is meant to be less featured and simpler (or basic! Wow, it’s in the name!)
And the third is the desktop service for Linux, Windows, etc. Technically, you can install the Linux one with Termux or similar on Android, but it’s a little jankey. It is possible though, as somebody else has already mentioned!

I personally use Syncthing-Fork. It works well enough for me, but I know a lot of people run it through Termux. Haven’t tried it myself though, so unsure what the limitations are. BasicSync is also new to me. There isn’t a “proper” way, it just depends on your use case I think!

There’s also Syncthing Tray’s experimental android interface. You either need to install from apk, or use something like obtanium, but it may be less flaky than Termux.
