Description
A user review on GooglePlayStore requested a feature:
"Image upload still does not work reliably, not in 2.6 and is actually my most important feature. As far as I was happy, everything worked as it should. I was actually satisfied so far, everything worked as it should. Now I've had the problem for a long time that the photo upload to the InstantUpload directory always fails, especially because then simply ceases to upload the images, which is very unreliable. As if the trigger is lost in the system (Samsung S6 Edge and now Samsung S8). It would be OK if a second attempt would be made later to upload the picture again, but here this breaks completely away, so that not all my photos arrive in the InstantUpload."
Could this be implemented into the app?

Research direction
Start by tracing the Android camera-upload flow and the InstantUpload directory handling, then inspect how upload failures are currently reported or queued. The issue discussion is the only stated context; done means a failed camera upload is attempted again later instead of stopping permanently, with coverage for the retry behavior.
