hmm
https://owncloud.org/faq/#rsync
"Why does ownCloud use csync rather than rsync?
rsync is a one-way syncing protocol. This means that if you have two servers and delete a file on one side, it will pop up again if you use rsync. To ensure old files get removed but new files added, and updated files overwritten, you need a N-to-N sync solution. ownCloud uses csync for syncing, which also deals with conflicts in a smart way."
Of course it would be even more awesome to have a real two-way sync client like on the desktop - that's what I count on beidl's Owncloud app to do at some point in the future, with the ability to choose which folders to sync.
In this regard, I also sent you a question at openrepos whether you would consider porting the Unison command line to SFOS :-)
I'd still be happy to know the answer, but we could make that a separate thread.

However, I have only my OC machine with an open internet port, so I have to mount the webdav to that. It's not working for me though, so I was hoping you guys could help me work out the proper mount options for a share *on the server that it comes from*.
This means I already can rsync to it just by launching the command in ShellEx with one tap, and without even needing admin prvileges on the server.
Now for this part:

Well what you want to do, is to make it a service that monitors your "/home/nemo/Pictures/Camera/" and automatically uploads anything when you snap a picture or take a video.
No need for any kind of GUI there.
[*] actually I am of a mind that less GUI-tweaking you need to do, the smarter your device is...
Any takers?

Creating a service that monitors a folder and upload from that is easy.
This only takes a systemd service that executes a shell script using davfs to mount and upload any changes, no rocket science there.
Will have a look at it later

Could you elaborate on what the backup daemon does? What does it backup, and to where... Maybe a developer would understand what it is just by the words backup daemon, but a little explanation for the layman would be cool.
(btw: man, I can' t believe you actually call yrself that as a dev name)
This means that the process is launched when the device is booted up.
The nice thing about that is that this doesn't require the app to be running in the background.
The process watches for changes in ~/Pictures and uploads new files to a directory on the remote ownCloud instance (/Jolla/) when on WIFI.
Using the ownCloud app you can set credentials and the daemon will pick those settings.
(yeah, I know, I know. it's only funny when nobody has a clue what it means.... oida.)

You might want to try the newest versions of both the app and the daemon from OpenRepos.
I'll push a new version of the app to the Jolla store as soon as I get reports that the issues are fixed.
Also, the daemon creates the folder automatically, nothing special you'd have to set up. Only make sure that you enabled the daemon from within the app's settings.
I'll push a new version of the app to the Jolla store as soon as I get reports that the issues are fixed.

2 months ago we got a nice little backup daemon running, which will be pushed to OpenRepos as soon as v0.3 is approved.
I just produced a heap of duplicates of about half the files in my Owncloud through a botched sync client setup - I'll test the daemon as soon I know that's not going to happen here.

It would just upload your local ~/Pictures directory to the remote /Jolla directory. In case a remote file has the same name/relative path locally we assume that it was uploaded by the backup daemon and don't overwrite it.
After all, you usually don't edit pictures on the phone, when you "edit" them via the Gallery app it creates a new file and thats it.
