Ability to pause pending uploads #383
Comments
Another use case : I'm temporary located in an area with very limited bandwith, I'd like to pause synchro |
We could do it like in Netflix on Android and show a menu with:
|
What are the recent plans or progresses on this feature request? I am really in the need for pausing the auto uploads. Unfortunately i cannot code it myself. |
I just wanted to bump this issue. Not having a pause button creates a big problem for me. I have a very limited bandwidth and I would like to be able to pause the uploads. |
Me too, I just wanted to bump this issue. Not having a pause button creates a big problem for me. I have a very limited bandwidth and I would like to be able to pause the uploads. |
It would be a really useful option. Any news about it? |
Bumping this issue. |
Bump, especially since half the time upload doesnt work peoperly. Should be able to at least pause it while the connection is flaky. If y'all open to it I could look into opening a PR in the future as well. |
Bumping this issue once more, its a (i think) simple feature yet a very useful one as there are many use cases, e.g., when using phone internet data plan and the data is running out, I want to still be able to use my internet without worrying about Nextcloud uploading all the recent photos I took. |
#6319 Relevant issue |
Still relevant issue. Temporary workaround coud be to manually stop the app when it attempts to auto-upload, but that's neither recommmandable (as it requires actively starting the app again) and is not reliable (seems the app is restarted again occasionally - maybe because the android app properies of nextcloud were still open on my device?). Suggesting additional requirements:
Thank you for consideration! |
I am currently working on a pause function for uploads. I prototyped an implementation to pause single uploads. Furthermore, I plan on implementing a pause all button since this is the most requested feature as far as I am aware. I'm not really sure though how the pause functionality in general should behave. In my current implementation, mostly for testing, I added a second button (pause) beside the existing cancel button in the uploads tab. I think this is not optimal because it's easy to click on the wrong button, and it takes away space for displaying the name and (if it would work, currently working on it) the progress of the upload (see screenshots for reference). The Idea I came up with:
I think an implementation should tackle all those issues here, where all this has been discussed to some extent: Does this add too much complexity / are there better Ideas on how pausing should behave / could be implemented? |
I think what would be much more useful is being able to globally pause all uploads. So that would mean a different layout would be needed. |
Well for the all action(s) the "x" icon could just be replaced with a 3-dot icon and a pop-up menu. Same could be done for the individual items |
@AndyScherzinger So, replacing the "x" from the current group with a 3-dot menu where you can cancel and pause all current uploads? A global pause would also affect failed uploads (e.g. file conflict) in the future. Maybe it would make more sense to put a global pause in the top right corner, where right now the 3-dot menu is? Then it would make sense to move the "clear all failed" button from there to the failed group with a 3-dot menu since it is specifically for failed uploads... |
What do you think of another group (like Failed and Current) called "Paused"? Or should "paused" uploads just be displayed in the Current or Failed group? |
the reason for the 3-dot menu is that by design if there is more than one action we usually group them in a menu instead of direct actions. |
Ok, I've quickly sketched it out now. I think that makes it easier to understand what I mean.
What do you think about that suggestion / "vision" of mine? |
@JonasMayerDev makes sense to me 👍 LGTM |

As @tobiasKaminsky suggested, I split this issue up in 2 parts:
|
A user takes 100 photos and right after the device connects to wlan, all uploads are started (one by one). The user wants to pause the upload as the (slow, not metered) wlan traffic needs to be used somewhere else.
I would put it in the upload pane in the overflow menu as as checkbox "enabled/disabled".
