Pre-Submission checklist

  • There is no existing issue that already asks for this feature.
  • The feature already exists in rclone (on your PC or in Termux)
  • I am prepared to help make this feature

What version of Round Sync are you using (About -> App version)?

App Version 2.5.6
Rclone Version 1.68.0-extractax

What problem are you trying to solve?

I was looking for an alternative to the proprietary Cx File Explorer app (a file manager with support for remote storage). On F-Droid, this app seemed like the best option to me. (Despite the fact that its main functionality is to automate synchronization.) Unfortunately, I found that Round Sync does not have the ability to manually copy and move files and folders between storages, be they local or cloud. After selecting Copy (the function is missing) or Move, the user has no way to change the current storage. After exiting to the list of storages, the application resets the state of the marked files and does not allow pasting files in the place where the user went through the storage selection screen.

What should Round Sync be able to do differently to help with this problem?

The 'Paste' button is displayed regardless of the currently displayed storage location until it is clicked or the 'Cancel' button is clicked.

Sequence of error reproduction.

  1. Make sure that more than one item is displayed on the Remotes screen.
  2. Go to any storage.
  3. Select several items via long tap or Burger / Select all.
  4. Press Move.
  5. Go through the Remotes screen to another storage.
  6. Make sure that the Paste button is not displayed on the temporary panel at the bottom of the screen.

That is indeed a good improvement.

Until i get to this, you can use the storage access framework to achieve this! Use the android default filemanager (or any other that allows you to use apps like google drive or dropbox etc) to open round sync. You can then copy&paste as you wish.

You might have to enable this functionality by enabling the saf-preview in the settings.
