I tried Google Drive, and also Seafile. the catch is that it needs to sync the files to your phones local file system. You could also do Next cloud or use Folder sync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite

Problem is, i want to exclude third parties. I'd prefer a direct heavily encrypted connection directly to my server. Definitely not a cloud somewhere, especially not google & co.

Nextcloud is way too blown up and vulnerable for me. I really only need file-synching. Got servers working for the other stuff like caldav.

i use Termux and just scp/rsync my stuff around.

ideallyi'd use Unison sync inside termux, but it hasnt been packaged and i dont know the first thing about ocaml, so it'd be hard for me to make the needed adjustments to package it.

Termux/Rsync is nice and all, but not really a comfy fire'n'forget-solution like syncthing.

And today i heard the first time of unison sync. So i have no opinion at all here, but thanks for the hint.
