Syncing files, Android and Linux (lemmy.ml)

I'm newish to Linux, wondering if you can point me in the direction of an easy way to sync files across devices (Android, Linux, maybe Windows). Internet advice suggests syncthing but recent articles show it was pulled from Android play store. There's is a fork listed there but is that going away too, who knows

What would be some easy alternatives? Nextcloud? Thanks in advance.

Syncthing is great and it has served me really well. I'm going to dip in and recommend a NAS which is so great for file storage and sharing between devices in this way. My Synology NAS started me on this journey and now I'm getting deeper and deeper into self - hosting and expanding my home server.......so be warned that this is a hell of a rabbit hole to jump down.
