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

If you're a little technically inclined I went with the "Self-hosted LiveSync" community plugin and really recommend it. It requires setting up (and maintaining) a couchdb instance and going through the plugin's setup. Not the easiest thing in the world but not too bad either. End result, I have end-to-end encrypted LiveSync on all my devices.

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