Description
before v4.9.2.20, nextcloud did not cache files automatically
and explicitly download files without me manually asking it to download.
After latest update, it downloads random files for caching
putting unnecessary load on the server while also taking
unnecessary space on the device.
How do i disable this behaviour in the app for a single account
or for all accounts logged in to nextcloud app.
PS: this seems like a recent change as this behaviour did not
exist in previous versions, or did exist but had a knob to disable.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the automatic caching after v4.9.2.20 and compare it with the earlier behavior, checking whether the app exposes an account-level or global setting. Done means the unwanted downloads can be disabled without affecting requested downloads, with the behavior verified on iOS.
