Description
As a mobile user I want to have a folder synchronization on my Android client so that files newly created on the mobile device will also be synchronised through OwnCloud like it works on the desktop.
Use case: The Obsidian app adds new notes by adding new files in a certain folder. In order to sync Obsidian data across devices, they should automatically be uploaded to the OwnCloud like it works on desktop with the “folder synchronization”.
If I use the Android app as is, I need to manually create any Obsidian folder or note in OwnCloud and only then can edit it in Obsidian which is really frustrating and error-prone.
An automatic sync would be very useful, as without it, it is impractical to use synchronisation for Obsidian with OwnCloud. I am sure there are further use cases where this would be very helpful.
Without it, I need to use GDrive with another app to achieve the intended behavior.

Start by reviewing the Android client's existing synchronization behavior and comparing it with the desktop folder-synchronization workflow. Determine how a folder and newly created files would be monitored and uploaded, then verify that new files created by apps such as Obsidian are synchronized automatically.
