Heavy mobile Filr users with company owned devices would like to synchronize directories/folders with Filr besides Downloads/Download directory instead of manually uploading files one by one. This would be most commonly used here for Android devices and the gallery/images folder. So the feature request would be to add an easy way for the user to select any directory they have access to on the mobile device to automatically synchronize like the download(s). With this feature, add a way for administrators to enable/disable user access to this feature based on user and/or group rights.

This is what I and few of my customers need. I would like my photos to auto upload to Filr. That would be a good backup option as well as an easy way to access these photo's from another device. The user would need multiple folder to sync photo's to as most of us have multiple devices.
As a Filr Admin I would need to be able to
* Enable this feature for users by user/group/global
* Setup a location where those photo's sync to. That could be by either setting this to (NetFolder) "Home", select another NetFolder, or select "Personal Storage". Then I would like to sync those photo's to a structure <NetFolder/Personal>\<username (case a netfolder)>\<devicename>
* Default upload only. Ability to set "Sync delete events" from device to Filr and the other way around (if possible) to be able to cleanup photo's from the device and/or from Filr. This could also be a good Mobile client setting so the user can decide to make such a setting dependant of the device.
Use case: When the user takes photo's those will be synced to Filr in the background (backup). When the user is done, the can go to the Filr App and select the photo's he's taken and select "share". Dependant how the sync settings are setup he can then delete the photo's from the device.
The shared photo's are directly available to the user these files are shared with. Om a desktop the photo's are available in the desktop client and using the Filr web portal.
As the user decides the photo's must be moved to a project share he can now do that from within Filr or a share. Dependant on how the Mobiel Device sync settings are setup teh photo's may be auto deleted from the device ("sync delete event from Filr to Mobile" setup on Mobile Device).
Is it possible?
