Give additional information about failed uploads

I use the instant-upload feature of the owncloud app to backup my photos. If there is a problem with my server, I can't find any detailed information in the app but have to do all the debugging on my server. It would be great to have some kind of switch to enable extended error-messages.

So true. I thought there was something similiar already registered, but I can't find it, so this is in.

Why not have an addtional info button on the right of each failed upload for additional info on the issue? A switch is a bad solution cause you would first have to go to the settings and enable it, then go back.

Will this be in https://github.com/owncloud/android/pull/1493?

Each failed upload shows a short message about the failure in the uploads view, but not very detailed. We should discuss what other information could be interesting.

Is more detailed infos really needed?

I still think it would be useful. A simple error message is often misleading :( Probably the usage of the extended notification (http://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/expanded.html) would be a good starting point?
