It’s also great for sharing files with friends/family. I gave a couple of friends a folder address, and we all just drop shit in there that we want the others to see.
Try it out. It’s free. Install it on a PC or phone, set up a shared folder. Put something in it. Set up syncthing on another phone/computer and use the same folder name. The program takes care of all the network stuff.
And so many other things. I’ve also used it for “cloud saves” back/forth from my desktop to my steam deck on games that don’t support them for various reasons. Dyson Sphere Program being one, because the files can get quite large.
Definitely Syncthing.
Great app to sync my phone with my laptop.

Are you self hosting?
There really isn’t any “hosting” with Syncthing. Everyone sharing the folder is kind of hosting.
How did you get to work outside your home network since you have shared folder with friends and family?

I have an extensive syncthing set up but I find the mobile app a battery hungry
