Sync to Android

I looked into that today. It appears that syncthing is not longer available for android. See https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002
I started a thread about this about 18 months ago. Everyone who participated seemed to agree that syncing directly from MC to android didn't work reliably. I'm hoping that can be addressed. Resilio sync is really hard to use and the local folder hack eats up a lot of unnecessary disc space.

syncthing-fork on Android is flawless and third-party wrappers are intended to replace the official app so they can focus on the core development.
Mr Swordfish:
I will give syncthing-fork a try, once I get the Windows sync working again. (see other thread).

Still another old thread on syncing to Android:

If you are willing to use a USB wired connection, then the file compare utility Beyond Compare 5 (Scooter Software) can effectively synchronize folders between Windows and an Android phone. It works directly with the phone's memory, as well as with a phone's micro SD card. The default is based on comparing file dates, which BC5 tries to preserve when copying to Android (it does so on my Samsung Galaxy, unlike Windows itself). You can also do binary compares when needed, which will be much slower of course.
If you are willing to put a ftp server on the phone, then BC5 should be able to use that protocol wirelessly (I have not tried it).
