Improve auto-upload settings for WiFi & Charging

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I’ve configured multiple folders cfor auto-upload on my Android phone, and usually I have it is set to “wait until unmetered wifi” and “only while charging”. But sometimes I want to modify this when I’m traveling and don't have access to WiFi & need to upload certain photos to server.

  1. It is not possible to modify this globally for all folders, but instead I've to set this up per folder.
  2. Once an upload begins and the files show “waiting for Wifi”, even if I change the setting for that folder to not wait till Wifi, the files which are queued up still wait for Wifi. There needs to be a way to change this for already-queued-up-for-upload files, as that’s the whole point of changing the setting.

Describe the solution you'd like

To allow for global & per folder configuration, new UI options needed:

  • An app-wide setting to modify "Wait until unmetered Wifi" and "Only while charging"
  • A per-folder configuration on whether it should override global settings or not. If yes, then the usual per-folder options.

To occasionally ignore restriction, add extra menu in auto-upload page:

  • Add a menu option in the Upload tab to "Temporarily ignore restrictions for already queued uploads."

Describe alternatives you've considered

There isn't really an alternative. Usually I just cancel the auto-upload and manually upload individual files. But this is cumbersome & difficult to do beyond 1-2 files.
