I want to back up the photos on my Android phone. I therefore use the automatic upload feature in the Nextcloud app. However, I have now noticed that the destination folder is automatically synced by the app. I.e. I now have all the photos duplicated on my phone. Once in the camera folder and once in the sync folder of the Nextcloud app. How can I change this behavior. I would like to have the photos only in the camera folder.
Me and none of my users are facing this issue. Auto upload only uploads, it will not download unless you sycn or in case, by chance there is a conflict and user ends up selecting “keep server” side file.
That will force the app to start downloading from server.
Clicking cancel here will skip this replacing process.
I have created a feature request to make this action more user friendly to give us a clear option to “DO NOTHING” it there is a conflict and leave this as they are at both end.
Yes but as far as I understand it, multiple issues regarding the Autoupload feature are related and they all should be fixed with the up-coming release of the app. See for example this issue, which is referenced in the issue I linked in my previous post.
Good for you…
Again, good for you… But multiple users, including my self do face this exact issue. The Nextcloud app automatically downloads / syncs every file that was uploaded via the Autoupload feature, which then leads to duplicate files on the phone.
