@Manoj Could you please tell what the default syncing behavior is? I just installed /e/OS on a new FP5 and it suddenly downloaded hundreds of ancient, long-deleted photos from my murena cloud.
The link https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/edrive-sync-details.html has been posted here, but I agree with the others that “eDrive syncs the following from device to cloud” is a bit superficial for an explanation. Also, some info on the page is a bit outdated, since I believe the service is not called “eDrive” anymore and on the bottom it only lists “Application settings” and “Pictures and videos”, while today there are many more categories of things to sync.
So the cases that I guess the OP asked about are:
- File exists on phone and not on cloud (e.g. photo just taken) → That obviously just gets synced to cloud
- File exists on phone and on cloud and is then deleted on phone (e.g. photo synced and then deleted by user) → What happens on cloud? Will it be deleted?
- File exists on phone and on cloud and is then deleted on cloud (e.g. user tried to make space on cloud) → What happens to file on phone? Will it be deleted? If not, will it be resynced to cloud?
And ideally we could also get some documentation on these special cases:
4. File uploaded to cloud (can be done in Files > blue plus button > Upload file) and put into a phone-synced folder (e.g. Documents) → Will file be sent to phone?
5. File, after syncing to cloud, moved from one folder to another on phone → What happens on cloud?
6. File, after syncing to cloud, moved from one folder to another on cloud (yes, that can be done) → What happens on phone?
