Syncthing vs Obsidian Remotely Save

I want to sync my Obsidian files between Windows and Android. Between using Syncthing and Obsidian Remotely Save plugin, which would be an better option for me if I only care about sync performance, security, regex support and battery usage?

Syncthing seems to be a better option, though I'm not sure whether it supports encryption when transmitting data and regex. but it requires constant running in the background so I would say it consumes more battery power than remotely save

Remotely Save plugin is a bit buggy in my opinion (experienced a few file lost and incorrect sync when creating new files) but it supports encryption in transmitting data and regex.

thanks a lot in advance

I don't know the answer for this but when I used Obsidian with the vault with Nextcloud, I made a huge mess of things. You can use the markdown/.md files (of many markdown editors like I do) in Nextcloud and use it between PCs and phones. I found Syncthing much harder to do this way, so only use Syncthing for my 50GB Music folder and for sharing PC-related things between computers such as themes, icon pack themes, wallpapers, and small programs and .iso files. And, Syncthing is no longer on Android anyway - which is good because I could never get it to work well on Android.

Thanks. It's been some time since my post. I've been able to set up Syncthing, which works great for me. Nextcloud requires a server which is really hard to setup correctly, so I'm settling on Syncthing for now

And, Syncthing is no longer on Android anyway - which is good because I could never get it to work well on Android.

I've been using Syncthing-Fork which works great.
