Syncthing-fork has been recommended over Syncthing for the last few years. That’s what I’ve been running for about that long with no issues. I like having access to a copy of the actual files on the NAS too which a borg backup doesn’t provide unless you do an additional borg mount. Syncthin-fork does other things too, light keeping a keepass database synced on devices. But yeah, nothing syncthing can do over a scheduled rsync script… I just have not found that to be as reliable on Android as it is in Linux.
Syncthin-fork has never stopped working for me. I would notice because it also puts my pictures into a folder that gets read by immich and I often check immich to look at my photos. I run immich differently than intended where I don’t do the photo backups with it. I only use it as a gallery client on my existing organized directory structure of images. It only has read only access.
