My device is not rooted, but I use Syncthing as well. I mainly sync my photos and my TOTP tokens (Aegis). The rest I don't care about.
I used Nextcloud sync in the past, but found it unreliable.

Two alternatives exist:
1. Syncthing-Fork (https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android) - Works just like the official app. Install from F-Droid or GitHub. Single developer but active.
2. Syncthing in Termux - Run the actual Syncthing program in Termux. Takes more setup but uses the standard version.
The fork is easier to use, while Termux needs more setup but gives you the standard Syncthing experience.
Its a definitely problem for me.
What was wrong about nextcloud sync? I'm just about to set it up for myself.
With Syncthing, I sync to a directory that my Nextcloud user can access (a read-only mount), so I can still easily share photos using Nextcloud, for example.
(although it's unfortunate that the Android syncthing app is being retired. h/t for the heads up and the recommended alternatives)
