About this app
BasicSync is a simple app for running Syncthing on Android.
The app is intentionally kept very basic so that the project is easy to maintain and keep updated. BasicSync only controls when Syncthing runs. The actual configuration is done through Syncthing's own web UI.
Features: Supports Android 8 and newer Supports external storage, like SD cards and USB drives Supports Android's storage access framework Supports importing and exporting the configuration Supports pausing syncing based on network and battery conditions or on a periodic schedule Supports Android's HTTP proxy settings Quick settings tile to toggle between automatic and manual modes Optionally allows external apps to start and stop Syncthing Runs Syncthing as a library in the main process This makes BasicSync immune to Android >=12's child process restrictions Small additions to Syncthing's web UI to add a folder picker and QR code scanner Detects and reports sync conflicts.
What's new
v3.19Sep 25, 2026
Version 3.19 Add global toggle for controlling whether to overwrite files safely (PR #248) This is enabled by default to match upstream Syncthing behavior, effectively undoing the workaround added in version 3.17. NOTE: Folks who want to prevent other apps from losing permissions to shared files when synced need to turn off the new "Overwrite files safely" option on the main screen. Add counts of folder and device states to remote control broadcasts (Issue #249, PR #253) Fix keyboard overlapping web UI elements when the system webview version is <144 (Issue #251, PR #254) Allow selecting Android/data/com.chiller3.basicsync/files on USB drives and SD cards with Android <11 (Issue #251, PR #255) Sync translations from Weblate (PR #250)
