"Original file will be" "moved to app folder" does not move the files to the provided folder #3802

Hey guys,

thanks for developing this :). I have an issue that has popped up again recently on a new mobile device. It wasn't bothering me too much until now, so I just came up with it today. I couldn't find anything in the docs considering the expected behaviour so I can only judge by my personal opinion that this might be a bug. Thanks for looking into this.

Actual behaviour

Under "Settings" -> "Auto upload pictures", when choosing "Original file will be" "moved to app folder", the files are removed from the camera folder after upload but the files are not available locally in the app folder. I have to download the images again via owncloud.

Expected behaviour

I would expect, that the files that are moved to the app folder are available on the device without having to download them again.

Steps to reproduce

Happens everytime a picture is uploaded automatically.

Can this problem be reproduced with the official owncloud server? (url: https://demo.owncloud.org, user: test, password: test) Didn't check. Seems to be a local app issue. Glad to test if you think this might solve the problem.

Environment data

Android version: 11

Device model: Fairphone 4

Stock or customized system:

ownCloud app version: 3.0-beta.3 (83404e99f)

ownCloud server version: 10.11.0 (stable)

That behaviour was developed in the frame of 3.0 as expected. The main idea is putting the focus on the backend and users will take from there what they need (different to 2.x versions). In fact, we received feedback in the past asking for this new behaviour to save local storage and letting users to decide explicitly which files are stored in the owned device.

But, your input also makes sense. We could check if there is any way to make this as an option for users.

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
