delayed / scheduled auto-upload #7815
Description
I've enabled auto-upload for everything (Camera, WhatsApp, Pics & Vids).
Mostly the upload is too fast, to send a pic or a vid with a messenger, mail or similar.
I have to enter the NC-Android-App download the file again. Then I can send it.
A delay for auto-upload would be nice to avoid this.

It would be a really useful feature also when you want to edit the image before upload (for e.g. cropping screenshots).

Yep, that's exactly my problem. I often take a screenshot and afterwards I crop it or mark s.th.
Very often I get a sync error with these initial screenshot. Then I can choose if I want to keep the 0 byte file from the phone or the 0 byte file from the server. And even if I choose a file, the error seems to reappear.

My use-case is if I take multiple photos, I review them and immediately remove the bad ones and keep only the best shot. Or just I see the photo I have taken is blurry, I delete it from phone, but usually it is too late and all the photos are already uploaded to Nextcloud. So for example 1-5 minutes delay in uploading would be perfect for me.

Like marki555, if I take multiple photos, sometimes there are bad, so I delete them on my phone. But it's too late, they are already send to nextcloud so I have to do the clean job also on nextcloud.
As my nextcloud is an automated backup, I'd prefer that delay can be adjusted from minutes (even zero) up to hours !
Thanks a lot for the job

Hi, I'm trying to implement this feature. The use case I need for myself is the same as in the previous comments. I want to make it as simple as possible with no unnecessary configuration options, but I also want it to be useful to others. I'll try to implement this feature with only one configuration option - relative delay (days/hours/minutes). Anyone need something more? e.g. date range, absolute dates?

from my point of view, days/hours/minutes would be great. Other Options are a nice to have, but not really important, I think. Thanks.

I have the first working version.
I added a simple dialog to pick the delay:
If anyone wants to test, here is the dev build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sAkdAUUWhQ4PZp0kBNS3roDI2Tv30NXS/view?usp=sharing

Cool! Is the delay relative to every single file? I mean, a 10 minutes delay is valid for the pictures that I take now and the ones I will take the next hours and in the future, or is it a one time thing?

OMG! I am waiting for this feature so much! It is a stopper to public my cloud to my relatives and friends.

Duplicate of #2323.
Not sure the state of the existing PR, but I'll link it to that issue so it doesn't get lost.
I suggest following that issue to track progress.
