Nextcloud Android App - Automatically Sync Files & Folders

Another voice chiming in that actual sync functionality would be greatly appreciated in the Android app. What bugs me is that “file syncing” is mentioned as a feature, but as many others have said, auto-upload is not the functionality that people expect.

Even the documentation here blatantly skips over how to actually sync anything. It literally just says to install and start the app.

It’s been four years since folder syncing was mentioned as a “feature we plan to add in the future”, so at this point it seems unlikely to happen.

Nextcloud is great despite the glitches, but the lack of folder syncing for Android is the only thing that’s making me consider other platforms.

Would love to hear an update on the status of this feature.
