Update: For those who can sideload apps on to their Supernote device, I can confirm that if you want to sync file between your devices one of the options is to use syncthing-fork

I have tested it and it works fine.

Benefits:

- It does not require a cloud provider, therefore, no concerns about running out of the free allocation on google drive etc.

- You can tell it to keep past revisions etc (version control is fine)

- There are plenty of configurable options if you want to use them

The app I am using is this one:

Originally, I was going to note that I was going to try sideloading syncthing to my A5X in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernote/comments/17i06j3/switch_from_supernote_cloud_to_google_drive/.

Therefore, because of the above, I can just use syncthing on my phone to decide what other of my own devices to sync to. This will mean that syncthing is only moving/updating files once - so there is no need to use google drive or dropbox and run into the free-level capacity limits.

Syncthing is a really nice piece of engineering. It allows you to make quite detailed configs if required - including: one-way sync/2-way sync, version control backups of your files (if you want to) etc. A strong recommendation from me anyway.

I guess the only downside is that I don't think (or know) if Supernote sync has an automatic trigger/option to update when files change. I assume it doesn't as I can't see the option. Not an issue for me, but it might annoy some others who want a seamless experience across multiple devices.

Depending on the sync features of Supernote etc, this might not offer much additional value. I plan on running some workflows on my notes etc. So I thought for now, I will use this solution.
