The app spams file / server not found notifications because of auto upload with deletion

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up automatic uploads for the Sounds folder with the option to remove uploaded files from the device
2. Use the (Huawei?) phone's voice recorder to record something
3. Wait for syncing

Expected behaviour

The files get uploaded, with or without a specific recordmode.txt file that seems to exist in a hidden backup folder.

Actual behaviour

The files get uploaded, but then a notification appears around every second stating that the server is not found. Tapping on the notification reveals that it's trying to upload recordmode.txt, failing each time. Removing the file from the queue stops the notification spam.

Sometimes it occurs with photos that have been already uploaded too.

Server error logs

No errors were reported for this, there are some about receiving fewer bytes than expected but not when I got these client issues.

Additional information

I use the AIO Docker version for the server.

Hi @NorbiPeti - Thanks for the report.

• The "Server not found" notification I think comes from an overly generic error routine handler. I agree, it's misleading and not helpful.
• The constant notifications occur in a variety of scenarios and there's active work on tackling that. Some has already been completed in more recently releases, but more is in progress as I write this.

Do you know what the recordmode.txt file is? I guess it's something from the Huawei voice recorder?

If you can a debug log, that would be insightful: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/#getting-debug-info-via-logcat-mag
