Was running Syncthing-Fork. Before initial setup read that `Syncthing-android is essentially in maintenance mode - it still works, but not many changes happening. The fork is faster paced with added features` ([Syncthing & Syncthing Fork - #2 by imsodin](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/syncthing-syncthing-fork/14960/2)) so opted to go with Syncthing-Fork. Maybe that was a bad decision so lets switch to Syncthing-Android. Used backup \> export option in Syncthing-Fork and backup \> import option on Syncthing. This did not work it seems. I force closed all apps after a while to find that when opening Syncthing it shows a Loading spinner. After some time it showed `Syncthing is taking very long to load. Use the logs to check for any errors.` Should I just remove both apps and start with a fresh install of Syncthing to get things working again hopefully? Syncthing seems to be stuck on starting. It started once but maybe the backup import was a bad idea nad things got corrupted. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.syncthing.net/t/sync-to-android-sd-card/18572)._
