I use rsync for this, what does syncthing do better? Maybe have a nice GUI?
Rsync is great as there is a clear master copy. But if changes may happen at any copy of the data, it can become a chore.

Different use case. Syncthing just keeps folders "in sync" between two machines even if they are not on the same network. Great tool to always have a backup of pictures taken from your phone to a small raspberry pi running at home for instance.
It also syncs modifications, so it's not really a backup solution.

Also SyncThing is bidirectional whereas rsync is one way (obvs you could also push both ways).
Love to hear more about this: Rolling hash detection of shifted data is no longer supported as this effectively never helped. Instead, scanning and syncing is faster and more efficient without it.
Do you have to upgrade across all your syncthing instances at once, or will 1.x be able to talk to 2.x for a while without breaking? It seems like a pretty big update and I'm not sure what I need to think about if I'm upgrading

“Syncthing version 1.x will soon be replaced by Syncthing version 2.x. Version 2 brings a new database format and various cleanups, but remains protocol compatible with Syncthing 1 .” https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v1.30.0

What's the latest story on Android? Last I heard they stopped official support there due to the newer restrictions Google has been imposing.
Syncthing-fork is in the Play Store and works fine for me.
