I don’t have needed to use for the moment, but when I bought a new Android, yes… !

Or with Google it is the same no ?

What’s the option with make difference ?

folders, files in folders

what do you mean Google? what does Google have to do with it?

Rephrase, or say it in your native language?

in french langage : OK je veux dire si je comprends bien, c’est pour synchroniser deux appareils, un Android qui va transférer toutes les données vers un autre.
Ce que je veux dire c’est que Google (avec le compte) le fait aussi non ?
Sinon, quel est l’avantage de cette appli par rapport à d’autres ou à Google ?
Quel est le plus qui fait la différence ?
Je me renseigne ici :
https://docs.syncthing.net/intro/getting-started.html

It transfers folders, say Camers folder with pics, or Downloads or Movies, etc

But NOT app data.

This is between your devices, those that you scanned the code, this does not send your pictures to Google, your proprietary business documents to Google, you downloaded files… to Google.

You use this app so as Google (and the US goverment, or agencies, or their people) don’t get your private files.

This is private between your devices, that you want, that you control, not sent somewhere to some servers from entities that do as they please with your files.

Sinon quoi utiliser au lieu d’un compte Google ? Vu que j’utilise le PlayStore et F-Droid…

Le compte Google ne transfère pas les app issue de F-Droid non quand il copie ?

OK alors on peut transférer les dossiers vers l’ordinateur avec Syncthing ?

Again, this has nothing to do with Google or any accounts.

F-Droid is not a Google product, it’s not on Google Play, does not have Google apps, etc no Google used or implied.

Apps in F-Droid repositories are installed by the F-Droid client, no Google involved, or used, no account used or needed.

OK alors on peut transférer les dossiers vers l’ordinateur avec Syncthing ?

Yes, install on PC, show QR code, scan that code with your phone… so now your files are backuped on your PC.

D’accord pardon ce que je veux dire c’est que si on change de smartphone il faudra réinstaller les appli F-Droid dessus (sur le nouveau smartphone) ?

Car grâce à Google on peut récupérer les app du PlayStore… installé sur le smartphone source.

OK très bien merci beaucoup :slight_smile:

yes, you are in control of your device :slight_smile: not Google
