    what “crazy pills” are you taking?

    1. Hear people praise SyncThing
    2. Open the Play Store by depressing the tip of my finger on its icon
    3. Search “SyncThing”
    4. Click on first result
    5. Press “Install”
    6. It doesn’t work

      Yea, that’s a lot of ambiguity.

      “Doesn’t work”. Well, yea, if you only install it on your phone - it’s a multi-device sync tool.

      For Windows I recommend SyncTrayzor, for Linux and Mac it’s Syncthing, for iOS it’s Möbius.

      I’ve installed it hundreds of times, the only time it hasn’t worked was between 2 Android devices of a specific version, and this is a documented thing.

        It’s ok if you don’t like my comment. But I specified in my original comment that I installed on Cachy as well. I value this convo because (hopefully) it will help future people. If you don’t know what Linux is that’s fine too
