Upload conflicts in Android app (auto-upload)

📱 Desktop & mobile clients
1

My Android client keeps having trouble figuring out which out of two image file copies to keep and keeps showing conflict notifications for each.

Apparently it’s trying to upload photo files that are already on the server, because one of the copies is always shown as being server-side, they’re identical otherwise (seeing that the upload already happened, I always choose to keep the server’s copy). This is all unexpected behavior:

  • Why is the client trying to re-upload pics that are already “up there”? It’s like it keeps rescanning folders, re-discovering “new” folders, trying to upload them and finding the files already exist.

If I can’t find a way to fix this problem at the root, I guess my question becomes: How can I batch-resolve a hundred conflicts with the same answer for each, avoiding to give the same answer manually a hundred times over?

I’ve seen that you’ve already created a bug report (Automatic photo upload conflicts are never resolved · Issue #13358 · nextcloud/android · GitHub) to address the issue. I realized the same behavior on my mobile phone, only when you request the local copy the dialog is closed and afaik there is currently no option to say “use this answer for all following conflicts” too.
