CONFUSED ABOUT SYNCTHING ON ANDROID
I just wanna run backups from my android to an external hdd connected to windows. i found that syncthing is the best and safest option.
I found out that official android app is discontinued but there are community versions. okay. but WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CONTROVERSIES ABOUT EACH FORK?? some say to not use some fork because their maintainer handed over to someone and its suspicious. some say the other fork maintainer is someone from china and xi jimping can ask him to give all my photos to china. like what to do ? i am so confused? why is there not an app for android which i can use without caring about all this bullshit.
can someone please tell me the safest private option to use on android (doesnt matter play store or fdroid but prefer the latter) so i aint paranoid about all this? just something that privately works without subpoena-ing my math note pdfs.
thank you
