I use the upload feature to upload photo’s and video to Nextcloud to manage my phone storage, but I often want to refer to / see recent items on the phone without having to download it.
Currently my options are to either delete everything now (upload while charging notwithstanding), or never (move to app folder).
It would be great to add an option to “Delete local files after X days”.

You didn’t specify which platform you’re on, but if Android then I suggest you put your vote in on the existing enhancement request:

enhancement
feature: auto upload
### Actual behaviour
-Tell us what happens
Set auto upload to delete after u… pload. Take a photo. Go to show it to someone in the on-device gallery, and it's gone. Go to edit it on device, it's gone. Go to email/text it, it's gone.
### Expected behaviour
-Tell us what should happen
It's very convenient to have photos auto uploaded, and deleting them after successful upload helps manage device space utilization. But the immediacy of the upload/delete causes usage problems.
Ideally, should be able to set a delay between the photo being created and the upload/delete (i.e., file age greater than x minutes). Setting the delay to zero would work as it does now. Setting it to greater than zero would only consider photos/videos that we last modified per the setting.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Take a photo
2. Open the gallery
3. Where's the photo?
### Environment data
Android version: 8.0
Device model: OnePlus 5
Stock or customized system: Stock
Nextcloud app version: 3.0.3
Nextcloud server version: 13.0.0
Android, yes. Done and thanks for the reference!
