Mirroring and two-way sync, and the other protocols listed on the site, are not in that release. - The app is free to download and has no advertising. No purchase exists in the app yet; its terms say some features may later be offered as a paid unlock through Google Play Billing, and that what is free today stays free for existing installs. - No account is needed and the author runs no sync server: files go straight from the phone to the remotes the user configured. An e-mail address is asked only for optional bug reports, feature-request votes and reading replies. - Credentials and OAuth tokens are kept encrypted in the Android Keystore. Optional crash reports and usage statistics (Firebase) are off unless the user turns them on; the F-Droid build has no such reporting. - Distributed through a self-hosted F-Droid repository, which Obtainium can also follow.
