From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Me and a buddy just set up syncthing and use that when we need to do this and don't want in third parties involved. Turn it off when you are done.
I use resilio sync across my work and personal phones and I use it to backup my phones to my nas. No need to turn it on/off, it's accessible only via secret key or shared link and it's encrypted.
I know sync isn't foss but it's the best one I've found over the years and it just works.
What's the advantage over syncthing?
I believe Syncthing isn't on iOS.
Mobius Sync is an iOS app for it. Free version has max directory size 25mb(?) but dev seems to have good attitudes; it's something I wouldn't mind paying for.
