Option to sync only when on wifi #41
Comments
check the options, its in there. |
Thanks for this - I guess what I meant is, not only pictures but if/when folder syncing is supported (Music, Documents, Pictures) - these too. (or any other folder user decides they want to keep synced) App is working great for me otherwise - downloaded an mp3 and it showed up in winamp. :-) |
We are currently working in some improvements in synchronization. Sync oinly when on wifi is not planned for our next release, but will be probably achieved in a near future. Please, be patient. |
A possibility to add black and white wifi network lists may be usable. |
i also experience hefty data usage because the owncloud app syncs every minute even if the app running in the background only: logfile excerpt:
wifi and mobile data usage combined show around 3gb of data usage on my phone - this is too much! Is there any way to address this issue? Thanks, |
First I will do the "sync only on wifi". |
As an ownCloud user, I want to be able to specify whether I want my ownCloud client to sync folders and files with the server only when on Wifi so that I can save bandwidth and still have my files in sync across devices. Acceptance Criteria:

One issue I had with the wifi upload on my vacation was that the sync started being on wifi (as it should) but went on after I lost the wifi connection and further uploaded the files and thus impacted my data plan (being in a foreign country) pretty heavily with no possibility to cancel the uploads (I know their is already an issue opened for cancellations) |
Yes pretty nasty bug - was this recent? For the phone grabbing files as needed would be fine in my case, with the laptop doing all the syncing. Mark Syminet Internetworking Solutions On September 7, 2015 5:36:38 AM CDT, Andy Scherzinger notifications@github.com wrote:

Yes, in the last two weeks with the git master on my phone. Imho a "simple" solution would be to check before every file if "wifi only" is activated and wifi connected and then upload the next file and else to stop (or pause). |
Sounds to me like a sensible solution to a 3 year old problem. |
@AndyScherzinger @zeugmatis @geotheory This is a separate issue, please track it there: #1166 |
That's only for pictures/videos as I understand. |
@geotheory Currently it is only for instant upload, which is as for now only for photos and videos. |
Marvellous, thanks! |
What's the status on this issue? I got confused by some earlier comments. I'm running 1.9.0 from F-Droid and cannot find a 'sync on WiFi only' option. Is it there yet? Any idea on when it's coming? |
This should be already included, but you must first enable "instant photo upload". |
got it. so this means if i enable 'only on wifi' for pics and vids, then also the 'normal' sync only happens over wifi? |
No no, as stated above this is only for instant upload. |
Mh, not sure if we understand each other correctly.
I have a folder set up to be synced between my mobile and the owncloud
server. I have auto-upload of pics and vids enabled, with the 'only on
wifi' option. Does this mean that the folder will also only sync on wifi?
|
Currently there is no automated syncing of a folder. You can only manually start a sync of a directory. |
Now I got it - thanks for your patience ;-)

Would be nice to have an option to sync only when on wifi so as to avoid outrageous bandwidth charges by phone companies.
