Can someone help me understand what adding folders to the "File" screen does on Android? I thought it was to tell s3drive to sync or copy files in those folders to my S3 service, but it stopped sending files once I locked my phone, it hasn't restarted when I unlocked my phone and visited the app, and it moved subfolders out from their parent folder. I"m very confused as to how this is supposed to work. #support

Hi, folder upload gets all files in directory and sub-directories and then adds them to the upload queue, S3Drive will then try to keep screen on for S3Drive (uploads really don’t work in the background just yet), when you pause the app (e.g open another one) smaller uploads in the queue might finalise just fine, but eventually it will stall. Now depending if app gets killed by the OS or not, next time when you open it it will either show items in the Transfers tab which you can then retry…or queue will be emptied without depending uploads finalized. That’s an obvious shortcoming that we will aim to fix. In the meantime if you want reliable upload/sync which can ensure that all files were uploaded, please use app Sync feature using copy mode.

Thanks for the clarification.

Internal task to improve robustness of the Transfers tab. Part of this task is to migrate away from Hive and use Isar.
