Description

Using the latest 3.13 RC1 Android app:

Please strongly consider changing the behavior of "sync" and "download".

For me, Download has an expected behavior of the file being in my Download folder.

Sync has the expected behavior of ensuring that file is always synchronized with the server. I would expect the location of the file to be in the defined "storage path" in config, so the app can find them and maintain them. To open a sync'd file, I would expect to open it from the app.

It should be possible to have a file Sync'd, then select Download to have that file copied to the download folder.

I need to be able to quickly Download a file from my cloud, without the desire of having it synchronized.
