2-way-sync only seems to work with a connected WLAN. Apparently there is also no option to use it via the mobile network.

This is a great pity, as it makes perfect sense when you are on the move and the file is changed on the server. Then you don't notice this and it causes a conflict.

Could you please allow this?

Hi, thank you for the report. Do you mean internal two way sync? If it is, two-way-sync currently only working with the Wi-Fi. But we can add this feature.

@tobiasKaminsky I can create a PR for this, what do you think?

Are there any plans to implement this?

Alternatively, it would also be possible to start synchronization manually via the mobile network. However, this would be good if it is not hidden too far in the menu structure.

Unfortunately, the WLAN restriction is really difficult as it can lead to data loss.

Am I the only one who uses 2-way sync and finds it useless for professional purposes?

Nope I'm suffering from this issue too. I first noticed this phenomenon two to three months ago. Currently two way sync is unusable because of WIFI only. Most of my days I'm not connected to any WIFI.

Great prospects. It's a shame that you always see nice features that you then unfortunately can't use because they're buggy for a very long time or not fully developed. Nextcloud remains an adventure to use.

My use case would be with my Obsidian vault which I'm syncing via Nextcloud. Since I'm not often conntected to my WIFI my vault won't sync most of the time and when I finally connect to my WIFI at home most of the time I have conflicts (sometimes even data loss) due to editing the same note and on my laptop/PC and my phone.

@alperozturk96 @tobiasKaminsky would it be possible to make 2-way-sync run on mobile network? pretty please :)
