Support syncing for more than just images/video #6134
Comments
This "somehow" works for me with the current versions on client an server side. |
OK, this is not a solution either. Constantly getting sync conflicts with the same file and size remote and locally. Something's pretty buggy here. |
@AlvaroBrey : Hey is there any possible movement on this request? It has quite a few upvotes. |
There's no short term plans to implement this at this point, I'm afraid. The technical aspects of this are probably complicated and we're spread thin with other priorities. Of course, PRs are always welcome. |
Just as a big fat warning: (A little OT: For those searching as well: I am not really successful in finding something FOSS that really works with webDAV/NC, 2way. Syncopoli is superb for 1way syncs over SSH and could be made to work 2way with a "newer wins" strategy. Other than that, I haven't found anything useful yet in f-droid incl. additional repos) |
Sorry to be this person but after a lot of trial and error and waiting for Nextcloud to support this use case better, I discovered Syncthing, which is a splendid open-source alternative for just keeping folders in sync across devices: It's not perfect but worked very reliably for me now for years. |
I know - but yet another protocol + services and Nextcloud not knowing about the changes you do "under the hood" for something so simple seems like overkill to me.. To get back on topic: |
You can mount external storages via GUI and occ. I'm not sure whether they appear in desktop/phone apps or just in the web UI. I've used it with thousands of individual SMB shares - the only problem was that the admin UI can't handle that many shares so at some point you have to use occ, at least it used to be so. See #13828 |
This topic is about getting files onto your phone. I want to mount shares (i.e. NC directories) on my phone, not on server side! |
That sounds out of scope for Nextcloud as it is not a generic mount client. Mounting it on the server and accessing it through your phone sounds like a real possibility though 😃 |
I cannot use local apps for modification, however. Markor f.ex. would be ideal for editing notes, but I am unable to access them when a) syncing does not work b) mounting does not work! |
You can use the android app https://github.com/newhinton/extRact/ (not available yet in Play Store). |
@stokito I have used FolderSync and it's decent though the UI is not great IMO and I would prefer to not have both the NC app plus an additional app just to sync my audiobooks. That's all I really need, is a way to sync audio files, which at this time NC doesn't do. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to sync my audiobooks from my desktop to my phone.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like if I could use custom folder connections to sync folders between my phone and desktop for more than just images/video.
I have a folder on my phone called "audiobooks". I create a folder connection between it and a folder on my desktop called "audiobooks". I want to be able to take an audiobook file/collection-of-files/folder/etc and put it in the desktop folder and have the contents appear on my phone.
I can put stuff in the desktop folder and then go into the nextcloud app to download it from the cloud to my phone but I want automatic syncing. I used to use FolderSync to achieve this functionality but I would prefer to use just the nextcloud app since has better UI and more functionality.
