Choose which files to sync

[Lich4r]

I am thinking about an enhancement that would allow user to choose which files to sync from his cozy.

That would be either select files/folder in the cozy-desktop app to sync or select files/folder in cozy instance that should not be synced to devices.

For example, if I uploaded all the pictures from my mobile phone they'll appear in CozyFiles and thus being synced to my desktop. I would like to be able not to sync them on my Desktop.

Yes, that's definitely something we should add.

More generally, I want to choose what I sync in any direction, and I want to be able to specify which folders on my desktop I want to sync to my Cozy and where.

For instance, suppose that on my desktop I have:
Documents
Downloads
Music
Pictures
Pictures/Phone

And on my phone:
DCIM/Camera
Documents
Downloads
Someotherfolder

Then on my Cozy Drive I’d like to have:
Desktop/{Documents,Music,Pictures}
Phone/{Camera,Documents,Someotherfolder}

Note that Downloads folders where not included for sync, and that for instance DCIM/Camera appears as Phone/Camera on my Drive. And my desktop Pictures/Phone folder should be synced with the Phone/Camera Drive’s folder.

(Note: not syncing Downloads on Desktop could be done using https://github.com/cozy-labs/cozy-desktop/blob/master/doc/usage/ignore_files.md I guess)

Point UI, extrait d’une discussion IRC : « Moi je voyais plutôt un filemanager, avec des cases à cocher pour les folders/fichier à inclure/exclure, avec par exemple en grisé les trucs pas synchros. »

Hello, cette feature est-elle dans une roadmap ? Merci :)

Bonjour @gmolveau,
cette fonctionnalité très demandée est bien dans notre Roadmap. Cependant, nous nous concentrons sur d'autres usages pour le moment.
Elle ne devrait donc pas arriver avant 2020.

[gmolveau]

D'accord, merci pour le retour @taratatach !
