I've used Syncthing and it's excellent. But for me, the lack of a mobile app was a dealbreaker. Even though it's not open source, I switched to Resilio Sync[1] (formerly known as btsync). It ticks all the other boxes, and just works amazingly well. I want to support them so I sprang for the $20 one time Pro license which adds selective sync and a few other nice features.

For Android yes, but the GP is likely using iOS where no such client seems to exist.

I used fsync when using I bought an apple device https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fsync/id964427882

It's lacking and has a weird workflow, but at least it worked for me. Didn't test it too much as I hated the apple experience and gave away the device.

The reviews would show you that it no longer works at all for iOS 12 and beyond.

Does Resilio sync encrypt the file names and folders during sync or just the data?

All traffic between peers is encrypted. You can read more about the encryption below[1]. You can also create encrypted (at rest) folders[2] for replicating via public clouds while still maintaining 100% privacy.
