[Feature request] Camera Uploads with sub folders

[pedjas]

General Information

• MEGA Version: 4.2.1 (393)

• OS Version(s): Android 11

• Devices/Simulators: Xaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

• Reproducible? (Yes/No): yes

What happened?

I have photos in Camera folder organized in albums as sub folders. MEGA uploads them all in Camera Uploads folder but not in sub folders. All media end up in Camera Uploads. This creates quite a mess.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to upload media files by sub folders, meaning to reproduce folder structure on mobile device.

We are already working on the Android sync feature and we aim to support preserving the folder structure. Thank you.

@sakethv-mega Hi, when can I expect the Sync Feature? Or maybe another solution for sync(3rd party tools, cmd in termux, whatever)?

I tried using 3rd party tools (FolderSync and Autosync for MEGA), but all of them are too slow. It is a Blocker for me to use the service as my cloud/backup account

@sakethv-mega is the work to implement Android sync happening somewhere here in the public repo where interested developers could help and contribute?

Any information about this basic feature? A backup which ignores a source folder hierarchy and auto-magically merges all files into one folder instead is IMHO something what is not expected by user and therefore such backup can't be considered as trustworthy.
