Resilio Sync is fully cross-platform P2P app for syncing files/folders: https://www.resilio.com/individuals/

I’ve been using it for years and love it.

Edit: Sorry, it’s not FOSS. My bad for not reading the question thoroughly.

It all still works great for me across all my devices (Linux, Synology NAS, Mac, and iOS) plus it looks like their community forums are still active, and they have packages for Synology DSM 7, which is relatively new. The last iOS app update was 2022, but maybe that’s just a sign that it is stable and doesn’t need frequent updates?

I wonder if you were using their old software called BitTorrent Sync. At some point they did a rebranding, and it could have left you with an abandoned client that stopped working, maybe? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bummer that it’s not working for you. It’s definitely one of my favorite apps.
