Client coverage: Mobile and Desktop

Open joshtrichards opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Might be valuable to have a broader discussion about whether it's worthwhile centralizing the desktop docs and/or expanding the existing User Manual to incorporate more coverage of the mobile clients. Particularly:

  • what, if anything, would be helpful for Android client users (#1583)
  • what, if anything, would be helpful for iOS client users (e.g. #8143)
  • what, if anything, would be helpful for desktop client users
  • is the existing desktop client documentation something that should be integrated?

Also related: the desktop client manual currently has a completely different look than the docs in this repository. Whether integrated or not, a better user experience would come from using the same theme/settings IMO.

Some updates:

  • Desktop docs theme clean/unification(WIP): nextcloud/desktop#6854
  • For the User Manual
    • We should probably document the following for Android:
      • Auto-upload
      • Sync
      • Managing Transfers (Uploads/Downloads)
      • Using the Document Provider

Hello

If it's okay, can I create a PR for mobile clients section?

Since the current navigation structure is not based on folder hierarchy, we have to modify multiple files and add internal references, right?

e.g:

<li class="toctree-l1"><a class="reference internal" href="../mobile_clients/index.html">Mobile clients</a></li>

And the first documentation can be this. I can move it from the Nextcloud Configuration section to the mobile/android section. I didn’t do it in that PR because it was too much for a single PR and would be better handled in a separate one.

@tobiasKaminsky What do you think?
