Syncing data from mobile to remote server
Today I was looking for a way to easily backup data from my Android mobile phone onto a remote server. While there are plenty of apps that can be used to send data to a cloud service (and, obviously, to Google), there aren't many that can be used with one's server, or at least without a certain amount of fiddling (like Termux).
A seemingly good one I've come across is FolderSync.
Pros:
- Supports SFTP both with credentials and with an SSH key.
- It has many scheduling options, so it's easy to “set and forget”.
- It gives some guarantees when it comes to privacy and data collection.
Cons:
- Not open source.
- It cannot generate an SSH key.
- The UI takes a bit to get used to.
