Hello! I’d like to put this idea in peoples’ heads that we can define default auto-upload directories from the server. For example, I could configure in Android:

```
/sdcard/CallRecordings/
/sdcard/DCIM/
/sdcard/data/
/sdcard/Pictures/

```

And set that to default to

```
$NEXTCLOUDHOME/InstantUpload/sdcard/

```

Then maybe have some other options like being able to set the wifi/charging status to on/off and move to app folder under Original File settings so the pics will be moved and auto-cached.

And have it prompt a user upon installation of the app:

```
"These auto upload settings are recommended by your administrator, would you like to apply them now?"

```

Or something to that effect. Then select yes and boom it auto-configures a custom folder in their auto upload section and it’s good. This would help a lot with some of the less-than-technically-adept users of our instances for total device failure.
