I think you lost the plot - you can publish a competing app that uses the Files app for sync, just like NextCloud does.

- Normal_gaussian 5y agoThat is a somewhat combative thing to say. We see a NextCloud dev explaining that background uploads don't work herehttps://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/215 https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/215 And we can see syncthing devs lamenting the many issues with an iOS client here https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/102 https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/102 It may be the case that file eventing now works, but a quick check with an iOS dev friend suggests that the filesystem sandboxing is too restrictive to be meaningful anyway. Further on this issue, consider that a functioning syncthing client is a node in a p2p network, so must be able to advertise and listen to requests in the background as well as the background jobs that NextCloud requires (as NextCloud is centralised it doesn't need node level co-ordination) - so a partially working NextCloud client is good enough, but a partially working Syncthing client is woefully broken.
