[FEATURE REQUEST] Sync accounts and settings across devices

[mneuwert]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think it is not uncommon that iOS users carry at least two devices: phone and tablet and eventually more. If these are signed it into the same iCloud account, we could use a cloud key-value store (limited to 1MB of storage) to sync accounts and settings among multiple installations of oC App.

If we decide to do so, we shall be careful with some settings. So for example I guess not all users would want to have instant photo upload active on all devices. Or may be sync feature itself should have some settings allowing to select what to sync.

I really like this idea and I want to have it. +1 @mneuwert

We should ask the user if sync should be activated. Some users will explicit use ownCloud to do not sync date via iCloud.

Syncing accounts would also have the benefit, when using Shortcuts all accounts would have the same uuid and there are no problems when running a shortcuts on different devices with the same ownCloud account.

@hosy yes, agree.. also it can be opt-in which is off by default.
