Description

Expected behaviour

Synchronize photo folder on IOS device with Nextcloud. Including deleting/updating photos/videos which are deleted/edited on the IOS device on Nextcloud.

Actual behaviour

Just upload (single direction synchronization) is available.

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Deleting/Editing photos on the IOS device post taking them is convenient (let's say 2h past). However all photos have typically already been uploaded. So the Nextcloud folder has all kinds of bad photos which the user deleted on the IOS device.

Amazing work otherwise!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the existing single-direction photo upload flow in the iOS app and determine how deletion and editing could be synchronized safely; done means the device folder and Nextcloud folder reflect those changes in both directions.
