Add Advanced Section: Mobile Sync

[melvincarvalho]

Overview

Add an advanced section to the Getting Started guide covering mobile sync strategies.

Key Topics

SSHFS on Mobile

• True SSHFS mount needs root (FUSE requirement)
• Alternatives that work without root

Recommended Approaches

1. SFTP file managers (no root)

   • Solid Explorer, Cx File Explorer, Material Files
   • Browse/edit/upload but not "mounted"

2. Syncthing (no root, recommended)

   Solid Pod → sshfs → Desktop → Syncthing → Phone
   

3. Termux + rsync (no root)

   rsync -av you@solidweb.org:/pod/ ~/storage/pod/

Data Types

Type	Difficulty	Method
Files/Photos	Easy	Syncthing, rsync
Contacts	Medium	DAVx5 + CardDAV bridge needed
Calendar	Medium	DAVx5 + CalDAV bridge needed

Future Work

• Solid → CardDAV/CalDAV adapter for contacts/calendar sync
• Native Android Solid sync app
• Document iOS options
