Tldr : Need to sync files on my phone and laptop via some remote repository.

So I’m currently using Syncthing to sync my backup files and Joplin notes on my phone and my laptop. I’m not home 3 days a week, so whatever notes I take or changes I make, won’t be reflected on my laptop until I come home. I tried next cloud (free tier) sync for Joplin before, but the server has issues from time to time and but the sync part doesn’t work properly.

Is there a way for me to use Syncthing or something else using some free or very cheap service and hopefully secure, in such a way that my phone , my laptop and the 3rd service all can be in sync. Also I’m kind of a noob when it comes to all these self hosting stuff, but I can learn some stuff not too complicated though.

Edit : My laptop is not ON during the 3 days I’m out of my house. Ideally once I power it on after a few days it should sync to the latest version.

    Are you using a VPN to connect to your devices at home? I have a similar setup, when I’m away from home, I connect via Tailscale (a version Wireguard VPN) and keep all notes in sync.

    In Joplin I use the WebDAV connection to store files on my server at home.

      Sorry I forgot to mention, my laptop won’t be powered ON during the 3 days I’m not home. So I was hoping a 3rd repo could be used for both my laptop and phone incase one of them is not powered on, so that the next time one of them gets powered on, it’ll automatically sync to the latest version.
