It seems to me that Syncthing is the exact right thing to use here; what is "overkill" about it that makes you think you should use something else?
No Syncthing is perfect. The problem is the Android app development issue. The main all had it last update ever earlier this month.
Yeah I think it's Syncthing-Fork now?
That's the problem making me think about switching now lol
Also syncthing fork for years here.
I got worried when the official app was discontinued but from the fork repo it seems fine.

Even though syncthing is great you should MAKE BACKUPS while you are setting it set up and anytime you tweak things. Things can go wrong. They might not, and there are lots of people who can truely tell you they have not had a single problem. But if you have the bad luck to check a box you didn't understand or make some other error you will be SOL.
I'm using syncthing-fork on Android for years on multiple devices without problems.
To be fair, Syncthing-fork has been around for a while, even before the main app got discontinued and it's still rock solid
Yes I've switched just recently. Just hope it gets continued development and didn't just count on the original app.
This is what i do. Just ensure version control is enabled. Works perfectly.
