Automatic upload, no remote folder selectable

[Schneehexe]

Nextcloud on Android, version "Nextcloud Android App 3.20.3". Device Samsung S9 Android 10 Serverversion: Always fresh!

Here is the problem I would like to describe: On my mobile devices I want to synchronize the uploads per device to a separate remote auto upload directory. This means that I can't use the default directory "/SofortUpload/Camera/ " (in German), because the directories have to differ depending on the device to not lose the mappings.

So I have set up appropriate directories on the server and want to choose them. But this does not work.

Although I can see these directories in the AutoUpload > Remote Folder settings, I cannot effectively select them.

Also under the function "Create a setup for your own folder" it doesn't work - even if I actually select the local and the remote - folder.

The Issues 622, 2034, 2611, 2462, 3137, 3763, 3382, 3384 treat the problem, but do not solve it.

Moreoveer, I can say that this must have worked earlier, as it was set up and works on the other devices earlier. A difference may be, that I used to get the App from the Playstore and now only from F-Droid.

After switching from the stockrom to /e/OS, dialing remote directories worked - for 2 days. Since today there is the same problem again.

Except InstantUpload/.... nothing can be selected.

What is this just aggressive thing and why no one can say anything about it?

The behavior is exactly the same again!

Please explain what you mean by "I cannot effective select them"? Please detail what you mean, I can select a remote folder without problem

First, I open the Auto Upload settings for screenshots, for example.

Then I select the setting for the remote folder here

Then I select the setting for the remote folder and finally the shared folder "SofortUpload-hbc63". I then get view of the subfolders and also see "Screenshots". I select this and get back to the settings menu.

Under Remote-Folder the folder I chose was not set. That is actually all. It just does not work.

Interesting, as I said it works without problem for me. Can you get logs from the app and attach them? Info here: https://github.com/nextcloud/android#getting-debug-info-via-logcat-mag You may want to anonymize them by looking for references to your username and server URL and replacing them with placeholders.

Thanks first of all that you deal with this problem!

I have started the log and performed the procedure again.

The log says the following:

The log is posted. Even with version 3.21.0 the problem persists.

Hello,

is anyone here still interested in this? There is never an answer. I can't fix this error myself.

At the moment, since no one cares about this bug, I'm forced to try Syncthing, which actually works fine.

Since the remote folder you are trying to upload to (/SofortUpload-hbc63/Screenshots) has the name subfolder name as the one you're trying to change here's something to try: Does it work if the subdirectory (Screenshots) is instead called something like MoreScreenshots by chance?

Hello again and thanks for the replies.

But the error was somewhere else. Namely in the Android mobile phone, in the developer options.

The effect I described only appears when "Do not save activities" is activated there. This setting deletes the information in the field as soon as you leave the input - that's why it is then finally no longer available for transfer.
