Steps to reproduce

1. Install Kubuntu + Docker Engine + Nextcloud AIO
2. Install and connect Nextcloud app on iOS
3. Start auto upload the whole photo library

Expected behaviour

Phone should not overheat - versions 6.x.x.x worked like a charm - nothing like that. 7.x.x.x brought this.

Actual behaviour

Phone overheats - especially when charging at the same time. If not charging, battery is dead after 2-3 hours while not even half of the library is done (~12000 files and half of them done)

Logs

Nothing special I can see there. Tell me which log at which log levels I could provide

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

It's not good for the battery and was already working properly!?

Just a comment from me on this, the app freezes when there are many photos/videos in auto upload.

Thanks I am not the only one. Depending on how strong the iPhone (I guess, also tested android - no issues) the app gets unusable because of this.

I've made a small research regarding the high CPU load during auto upload: https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/3751#issuecomment-3292039812

The problem seems to be related with the database that becomes huge when uploading large libraries.
