Autoupload doesn't work at all with Nextcloud App Beta 20170101

[OlivierS1]

Actual behaviour

-Nextcloud App Beta 20170101

I have been trying to make Auto upload work, but couldn't.
I couldn't find information regarding the newly redesigned feature but I think I understand how it is supposed to work.
I am not sure this feature is complete and support autoupload yet.

Expected behaviour

-Tell us what should happen

• Under Auto uploads, I choose the relevant folder such as Camera, either from the internal storage or SD card,
• I configure the Auto upload preferences:
  -- Storage location.
  -- Upload via Wifi only.
  -- Use subfolders
  • Original file will be... Moved to app folder.

Once setup, when I use camera and take a picture or video, nothing is being uploaded by Nextcloud app.
It's like Nextcloud doesn't know a picture was taken and doesn't do anything.

Steps to reproduce

1. See step above.

Nextcloud Beta 2017010: Auto upload still doesn't work at all.

I have two camera folders Nextcloud app is watching, one on the internal storage and the other on the external SD card.
As far I can tell, both "Auto upload" configurations are enabled, The cloud icon on the top right side of the folder is blue and photo once taken will appear in the preview once "Auto upload" has been updated.
New photos are detected, but according to following log, "Instant upload" is disabled somewhere.
Is it possible there is supposed to be a main switch (Enable/Disable check box) which would normally appear under "Auto upload Settings" that would be preventing the upload to take place?
Nevertheless, no transfer is taking place and the "Uploads" folder remains empty.

Try to install beta from Google play.

[AndyScherzinger]

@ncyclon that is a "huge" difference the "beta" from Google Play is just the release candidates (of the upcoming stable releases) which is something different. The real beta is only available on f-droid and is a beta version that can run in parallel and contains any feature/change that is ready for review (and many of them won't be in the next stable but any other future stable release).

I have the same situation here on a Oneplus 3 using Android 6.0.1 (OxygenOS 3.2.8) using beta version 20170106. I see similar logging including the "Instant picture upload disabled, ignoring new picture" message.

[OlivierS1]

Beta version 20170202 doesn't have a fix for the Auto upload feature.

Here is the content of the log:

InstantUploadBroadcastReceiver:61 on Beta is

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {...}

On my emulator with Nougat it still goes into the if branch, although if I manually execute Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP on the breakpoint it says "false". Which is the expected behaviour.
This seems to be the reason why here the output of the BroadcastReceiver is shown, even if the AutoUpload is used.

[tobiasKaminsky]

@OlivierS1 tomorrow there will be a new beta with a significant change on autoupload, maybe you want to give it a try?

[OlivierS1]

Can't wait to get my hand on it.

[OlivierS1]

I just checked the update as I am in Western Canada. It turns out the update is available.
Here are my first feedbacks:

• Downloaded the APK via the app, but APK coudn't install. It happened also last night when trying to install 20170202.

-Installed APK 20170204:

• Made sure normal Nextcloud app doesn't have auto upload enabled.
• Went back onto Nextcloud Beta 20170204 and setup camera folder location for autoupload.
• I didn't touch "Storage path": Left it to default Unknown.
• Went to camera app and took a picture..

Now upload is underway.
On my Server, I do not have the default folder "InstantUpload" because it makes sharing files unmanageable. I usually use my account name at the end of the folder name to differentiate it.
Maybe because of it, it seems all my pictures in the Camera folder are being uploaded.

• Most photos seem to upload properly but I get lots of them that fails.
  Clearing all of them from the upload folder I proceed with a single camera capture:
  Once a single photo is taken, I go back into Upload folder and I see two version of the same file trying to be uploaded.
  The first one is loaded into the default "Instantupload/Camera" folder and seems succesful, while the seconf tryies to upload to "Instantupload/Camera/2017/02" which fails.
  I have setup "Original file will be..." to "Move to app folder" and it is probably the reason why I get double upload with one failure.

[OlivierS1]

So far I am happy with the result but I need to explore Nextcloud beta 20170204 in more depth, especially with both local and external SD support.

[OlivierS1]

More feedback:

I have remapped my "Remote folder: location to "InstantUpload_Olivier".
Now I have the following issues:

Nextcloud app 20170204 doesn't want to stop uploading:
In the upload folder I have now 2 different folders in the list (I don't know if it is the source or the destination folders):
1: "InstantUpload/Camera"
2: "InstantUpload_Olivier/2017/02"

Closing Nextcloud app then starting it again forces upload of the entire folder again.
