A (working) syncthing app is still the major thing missing from Ubuntu Touch for me to be able to use it in a serious way.

You can use you rsync, or you use the great NextCloud syncyng app "ubsync" : https://open-store.io/app/ubsync

edit: didnt read "syncthing" as a existing cloud solution, but just as any "syncing" solution

Syncthing is an opensource tool to sync between machines. It's like rsync in cron.

I don't see any reason why it won't compile for Ubuntu, it's GNU Linux.

Isn't it just a real GNU/Linux system on ARM? So couldn't you just go grab the official syncthing binary and runn it yourself from a terminal and use the web interface?

I suppose that's an empirical question. I'm not sure what happens to apps run from the terminal in Ubuntu Touch when they're not the currently active application (i.e. whether it will run properly in the background). Having an app-ified version would be ideal though, so I could do things like on Android when I have syncthing disabled unless the device in on AC power.
