I use rsync normally but I want something similar for my Android (GrapheneOS) smartphone. I want to just click and backup everything that I set up earlier. For now I manually copy folders to one and then upload it to external drive. What are your recommendations?
It’s absolutely awesome and rock solid. It even allows for not syncing deletes, a sort of append-only backup in regards to files. Very handy for photos and especially large videos, because deleting them locally won’t delete them remotely!
And if you only sync in one direction, they stay off your phone. You can take as many videos as you want without filling up your phone.

I’ve used Folder Sync since about 2011. Killer app.
