    Has anyone here ever used the FOSS Round Sync RClone for Android with
    Windows (or with cloud solutions, or SMB, FTP, WebDav, etc., servers)?

    Here is the FOSS Round Sync - Rclone for Android web page on GitHub:
    <https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync>

    I just started testing it to see what it could do (to help someone):
    <https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync/releases/tag/v2.5.6>
    <https://github.com/newhinton/Round-Sync/releases/download/v2.5.6/roundsync_v2.5.6-oss-universal-release.apk>
    Name: roundsync_v2.5.6-oss-universal-release.apk

    Initially, I see it's a decently simple yet useful file manager in and of itself, and it also synced files between my internal sd card and my
    external sd card pretty easily - putting a "sync" shortcut on my desktop.

    It also seems to contain a task manager, where it will sync tasks also.

    I noticed that it has "triggers", which is nice for automation, where those triggers seem to be based on days of the week and times of the day.

    I don't do any of the highly marketed cloud solutions but I do note it
    syncs to the cloud (such as Google & DropBox & OneDrive & tons more!).

    Apparently it also syncs to SMB & HTTP & WebDav servers (& tons more!),
    so it might very well be useful as a (Windows:Linux):Android sync solution.

    If you've used this tool, which is brand new to me (I only found it looking
    for a solution for someone else), please let us know what it does for you.

    Its seems, to me, upon first inspection of only a couple of minutes, to be
    a rather powerful tool that seems to be adapted to many sync situations.

    If you already use RoundSync, what do you use it for that you can share?
