Description

I have my Nextcloud Android client set to auto-upload (and then delete) images and video when in WiFi. I am doing this to save space on my phone, it's working great and i am super thankful for this functionality.

What IS problematic though, is that the auto upload is internally scheduled like any other (manual) upload. So, if I have been on a photo safari, shot 2000 Images and return home, my phone will start uploading them - during which it is unavailable for any other Nextcloud file transaction.

So for the time of the auto-upload, the access to my Nextcloud from the phone is basically blocked. I think the auto-upload functionality should be handled like any backup process is handled in desktop computers, as a background process with lower Priorities than manual interactions.

If, during an auto upload, i need access to a file from the cloud, auto upload should be paused and the manual interaction should be prioritized over the auto upload.
