Android: Need option "available offline" for folders.

[iav]

Currently option "make available offline" can be swiched only for files, not for folders.
Need a way to do it ffor folder tree.
And should be option to turn this off for some of subtrees.

I concur.
"Set as available offline" should be extended to folders.

We have #285 where we describe how to improve the current system to a real 2way sync.

Just migrated from owncloud to nextcloud and found the folder 'make available offline' feature is not available on Nextcloud for Android. Any plans on implementing? This issue seems to be almost 2 years old.

@tobiasKaminsky I don't mean to come across as offensive, but help me understand something. Nextcloud broke away from owncloud in part because owncloud was not listening to the community in a way that furthered the product. But yet, here we have a an almost 2 year old issue still largely unaddressed (one that owncloud has supported for a good while). So my question is, is nextcloud really more community-aware than owncloud is? I understand a comment like this does not make me look very nice (and I apologize for that), but I am just curious.

I want to throw my hat into this ring, too. I'm using Joplin and the direct synchronisation isn't very fast. So my idea was to make the whole Joplin folder offline available, but it seems, that this isn't possible. Please create a offline sync for folders!

@TheLux83 Exact same use case here!

Hi, any news regarding this bug/feature request?

Having a whole folder available on the device is a major feature to have.

So I publish a doc and the phone does not open?? My God I installed it at school and now I find out that it doesn't have that much needed function!

[iottt]

I tried to open a doc and it is not possible, I looked for some resource and nothing causes the doc to open on android 9, the message says "Make the file available offline"!

[tobiasKaminsky]

@iottt can you open up a new issue please?
