[BUG]Auto upload sometimes does not upload due to Locked files #16434
Description
⚠️ Before posting ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or an enhancement.
- I've searched for similar issues and didn't find a duplicate.
- I've written a clear and descriptive title for this issue, not just "Bug" or "Crash".
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Steps to reproduce
1.Take a series of photos ( 25 in my case)
2. Wait Nextcloud to start uploading
3. Uploading completed only for 22 photos, other cannot be uploaded because of file lock
4. Nextcloud send notification with Locked description
5. Uploading file again manually will complete normally.
I have a feeling that nextcloud app wont try again to upload a file when file is not locked anymore. My Galaxy S25 Ultra is sometimes enhancing the photos so file is locked for another 6 seconds after taking is via Camera app. Nextcloud should try to auto upload in 15 minutes for example.
Log search with Locked, AutoUpload,Upload verb is here:
Expected behaviour
- Take series of photos
- Wait for autoupload to complete
- If any file is locked, app should try again in few minutes
Actual behaviour
- Take series of photos
- Wait for autoupload to complete
- If any file is locked, app wont try again and photos are never uploaded if not done manually.

I can confirm this, however, the behavior is slightly different for me. I also get the message from Android (Upload failed Locked) on both an S25 and an S20, but there are no open files listed under uploads in the app.
APP Version is 33.0.1 from F-Droid (not the Playstore Version)

I have the same problem. The Android app notifies me that the upload failed, but there are no entries in the list of uploads.
Pixel 8 Pro with NC 33.1.0
