Syncthing vs Obsidian Remotely Save

I want to sync my Obsidian files between Windows and Android. Between using Syncthing and Obsidian Remotely Save plugin, which would be an better option for me if I only care about sync performance, security, regex support and battery usage?

Syncthing seems to be a better option, though I'm not sure whether it supports encryption when transmitting data and regex. but it requires constant running in the background so I would say it consumes more battery power than remotely save

Remotely Save plugin is a bit buggy in my opinion (experienced a few file lost and incorrect sync when creating new files) but it supports encryption in transmitting data and regex.

thanks a lot in advance

Came here to say exactly this. Been running it for years with zero issues, buttery smooth and thoroughly integrated.

Also been running it for years, except with LOADS of issues.

I regularly find myself in a situation where I have a new file on one device that just won't sync up. It's infuriating, and has been an off and on problem for years across a handful of devices. Updates are always a nightmare because of some incompatibility bug or config change...etc

I ended up having to set up and pay for the normal obsidian sink for my spouse for her school work because we just couldn't trust it.

Right now I'm using it with CouchDB. I'm going to try and use it with S3 and see if that's more stable.
