[FEATURE REQUEST] - Folder synchronization from Android client

Open jhegewald opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

As a mobile user I want to have a folder synchronization on my Android client so that files newly created on the mobile device will also be synchronised through OwnCloud like it works on the desktop.

Use case: The Obsidian app adds new notes by adding new files in a certain folder. In order to sync Obsidian data across devices, they should automatically be uploaded to the OwnCloud like it works on desktop with the “folder synchronization”.

If I use the Android app as is, I need to manually create any Obsidian folder or note in OwnCloud and only then can edit it in Obsidian which is really frustrating and error-prone.

An automatic sync would be very useful, as without it, it is impractical to use synchronisation for Obsidian with OwnCloud. I am sure there are further use cases where this would be very helpful.

Without it, I need to use GDrive with another app to achieve the intended behavior.

Hi, I am also interested in this. I would like to use the owncloud app on my mobile device to sync my obisidian vault. Is there a solution for this? So far I have used an external app, but I would like the mobile to be able to do it, similar to the desktop app. Not only on Android, but also in ios :)

Thanks for the interesting suggestion. Two-way-sync has many regards in mobile world, more than in desktop, so we have to check carefully pros and cons. But IMO it's a very interesting feature.

Same usecase as @balmag, would be an awesome feature.

I'm looking for a cloud app which will handle this feature. And my use case is also related to Obsidian
