i have a folder on my nextcloud with subfolders. i noticed that when I selected the top level folder to enable synchronisation on the iOS app that this does not contain any subfolders. as a result I have to manually enable sync on each individual subfolder.
would it be possible to have an option to enable subfolder sync? perhaps a popup after you enable synchronisation to ask “all folders” or “just this folder”.
the same option would also need to exist when synchronisation is removed from a folder.
Hi @wizdude the problem is that it’s not a file system but a webdav (system) and it’s slow for read the tree … recursive structures are not good we hope to have in future API more appropriate
perhaps then we need to consider the handling of “settings / synchronised folders” because you just get a single list on the “Active synchronisations of folders” screen.
if you are doing a lot of folders this becomes a hard to use list. it would be great to have this organised in some sort of collapsing folder structure which is similar to the original folder structure.
yes @wizdude this is a good solution but you have to use the function of sync. with sparingly … every time that Nextcloud return in foreground check all directory / all file if are changed …
Any news on this one? I have the same problem, I have tons of photos I want to sync/have offline available on my iOS devices, but due to the amount of files I need a lot of subfolders.
Of course I understand it will bring a lot of trouble when the client compares file lists every time it starts with so many folders/files. But that’s a thing the NC/Client system should be able to handle.
Thank you very much.

cause I have to wait until message unlocked.
