Does this include a constant sync of a todo.txt file on change locally and periodically checked on server?
@aparcar currently this will only replace instant upload. But this approach is designed to also handle a real two way sync and a constant sync of files.
This issue/implementation is to be considered the top prio since we now already have > 1,300 Android 7 installations according to the play store :exclamation:
Camera should be top of the list as this is the most wanted "folder", I guess. At least I was searching a while where it is ;-)
I know it is kind of reduntant, but I think that it should be possible to enable/disable sync also in the setting of a folder (and not only in the folder sync view). [folder sync looks fantastic! :+1: :tada: ]
Yeah, we can put camera on top, need to think how to put this into the comparator. Doable :) As for the caching, don't know actually. The queries need to be tweaked also since they need to order by date.
And yes, the enable/disable can also be put into the settings. UI is close to feature complete. Then I will publish some screenshots for the discussion with the designers.
V1.1:
- show jobs in upload pane
- track jobs
- get job result to update upload pane
- if job fails: allow user to restart
Auto upload is also not working for me on Google Pixel XL with Android 7. Release version of Android app on Play Store.
@shauncurrier please create a new issue. Ensure you add the troubleshooting steps you've taken also and for how long files have been waiting to upload (or if they don't make it to upload at all).
My mistake! I was in a hurry and thought I was posting in a forum thread I had open in another tab. I'll take it elsewhere, apologies.
At what increment are we now at? Shouldn't we have a separate bug for each of them?
@madorian I just updated the top description and we are actually implementing what I described in Increment 2 now - #797. We try to keep the discussion here in general but it would make sense to still create separate issues for the different functions but keep this one as an umbrella issue referencing the detail issues and to reflect the complete road map of this feature in one place.
Hi, Any idea when the "upload existing files" feature might become user testable ? Tormen
First off, thanks a lot for your great work on this app, it's awesome. On which increment are we standing now?
Increment 2 has been implemented and will ship with the next stable release
Well, we also have:
show jobs in upload pane track jobs get job result to update upload pane if job fails: allow user to restart
- automatic retry
- upload updated files ;)
Do note that this roadmap/issue will be changed once @tobiasKaminsky gets the time to put notebook notes in the issues :) cc @AndyScherzinger
About increment 3, autoupload existing : is there a workaround to force upload of the existing ? maybe moving out / in via an android file manager ?
Yes, that will work.
