Syncthing lite no longer works....

Support Android
1

A new syncthing update no longer allowed “Allow Old Insecure TLS” setting to be toggled in the advanced settings menu. Thats a shame because, I have been using syncthing lite (Found on f-droid) for actual years to pull homework off of my home server.

Is there a way to not need to download everything in a shared folder to my android device? My school folder is around 120gb but I really just need to pull a blank 2mb PDF to my tablet for homework.

Also, congrats to this guy ( syncthing/syncthing-lite: A Sync Browser: a browser app for Syncthing-compatible shares) for making an app to last 5 years after archiving. And of course, thank you syncthing community and devs for saving my data across drive failures.

You can use ignore patterns for that, e.g.

!path-to-your-file
/

This will only sync the file in question and ignore the rest.

It is indeed sad that Syncthing Lite will finally meet its end :sweat:. If you know what you’re doing you could revert the relevant commit and bring back insecure TLS support by compiling your own Syncthing binaries. Alternatively, Syncthing Lite itself would need to be updated, but that is probably a much more demanding task.
