Synchronization from murenacloud to phone

Using /e/OS murenacloud
1

I’m using murenacloud premium for a while. I don’t have any issue concerning the synchronisation from my phone (OnePlus 9 pro version 3.2-a14) by adding photos, videos or documents.

I’m facing 2 issues:

  1. It is related when I delete something like a photo or video from my phone to murenacloud. It remains to the cloud.
  2. And once I modify or create something (delete a photo or create a new file) in Murenacloud it is not updated to my phone

It’s fustrating to do manually the update without a both way synchronization.

Any tips or advice to make my life more easier?

Thanks in advance to the community!

  1. deletions: this is the behaviour that is enacted currently at the code level - no propagation of deletes from either side. I repeated this so often it should really say so in the docs

  2. creating a new file or changing a file remote side should eventually sync to the device after a polling interval (readme):

The synchronization is done on ACTION_SCREEN_OFF intent if the last sync is greater than 15 min. Otherwise a sync is scheduled each 30 min.

There’s no UI button afaik to force this to cut down on the 15min (the account sync setting slider won’t) - only a cli broadcast.

I guess things will improve on intervals when the apps make increasing use of murenas own push notfication mechanism. Mid 2026 I’d guess.

Thank you tcecyk for your quick reply. It’s is true, the docs doesn’t mentioned clearly the possible sync.

To me the goal is to be able to get access to your cloud everywhere whatever the hardware and get the last update on you phone.

Using the Fdroid app Nexclound could help to get access to my murena cloud?

I hope you right concerning an update mid 2026

yes. If you’re heavily using files on nextcloud / murena it’s a good addon. It will live-query per webdav request what’s on the remote and you can select what you want to have offline - but it doesn’t have system level access, that is eDrives upside.

Der @tcecyk ,

but in Mastodon murena claims to sync. So syncimg isn’t easy to use, because i have to delete permanently files or don’t use the space and it doesn’t correspond to productivity.

Would be really welcome to have this working.

Greetings

It was exactly what I was looking for. Working on one side (from phone to murena cloud) is good, but the strenght to have a synchronization in both ways and a must-have today.

Thanks but I’ll still need to delete manually from nextcloud app what I already deleted in my phone and which is already in the cloud.

It’s not user friendly.

yeah it’s not intuitive. There used to be deletions but it wasn’t robust. Currently there’s no gitlab issue that asks for proper 2-way sync that one could vote on to see attention, just lots of forum threads. This needs to be properly filed again, who’s doing it?

@jalmer - I think you should just feedback on that mastodon post then?

You could give 3rd party software a try: RoundSync, FolderSync($), RSAF+Tasker etc. Nextcloud client can do bi-directional sync optionally, but it syncs into its own app storage, not to system folders.
