The closest feature request / bug report that fits this is [Synchronize should also upload locally created files · Issue #8078 · nextcloud/android · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/8078)

If you think this is important, then I suggest you vote on this.

Is there an issue on github that is specific to implementing the same feature as it exists on desktop? That means:

- select a local folder to sync
- select the remote folder that it should be synced with
- automatically sync all modifications of existing files and folder + new files and folders

# Edit

There are many issues on this, but probably these 3 are the ones should be voting on:

- [https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/19](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/19)
- [Allow arbitrary folders to be synchronized · Issue #21 · nextcloud/android · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/21)
- [Synchronize should also upload locally created files · Issue #8078 · nextcloud/android · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/8078)
