Another item that has not been mentioned yet is git annex:
https://git-annex.branchable.com/

Disclaimer, never used it.  Also don't know how well it 'interfaces'
with android/chromebooks.  Both of which, while running Free Software
Linux underneath the hood have much more in common with proprietary
software than Free Software.  Note that on both, even though the
engine/transmission is Linux, ship in their default config with the
hood (bonnet) firmly locked down against end user modification.

Git annex's webpage description does talk about keeping sync in the
face of intermittent/mobile network connection.
