Request: Scheduled (or delayed) Syncing

[EzlinRye]

First, thank you for taking care of the syncing issue. I appreciate that.

With the frequency that files sync from my PC, I personally think that the ability to schedule syncing would be of benefit.

Presently I pause the app when I can, but the app will often immediately unpause itself and begin syncing again. So pausing it isn't super useful.

If I could schedule it to sync every hour for X duration, or at specific times of the day for X duration, that would be great and it would stop hammering your API.

Dear @EzlinRye ,
Thanks for your report.

Are you able to reproduce the issue of pause/unpause? We would like to get some clear steps to try to reproduce on our side, so we can help you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.

I don't know if it's intended behavior, so I haven't reported it as a bug. It happens quite consistently.

This happens whenever there are several small files seeing frequent changes and being listed in the app to upload (under 1 mb) and / or a single file is seeing rapid changes. The app will pause very briefly when I click the pause button, and then immediately unpause itself for the list of small files that quickly follow.

I use Cryptomator for my Documents folder. As you probably know, it seems to split a single file into smaller, encrypted chunks. If more than one file is changing then that can easily lead to half a dozen or so files being listed in the upload que.

It's my general practice for all cloud services. For now I let mega run at boot and then try to remember to close the app.
