Is there any progress on this. We are just replacing Dropbox with OC 5.0. at least on windows I can confirm that the OC synced folders have NO indication (Icon in Filebrowser) that they have a sync configuration at all, nor the status seems to be reported. As OC has the ability to sync any arbitrary folder it would be great to add the Icons as seen in DropBox and Box.com.
This would be a great visual re-assurance to users that things are working and everything is sync'd. Look forward to it now it is on the roadmap. Thanks
I don't want to open an new issue but it would be good to have "file placeholders" in explorer, etc. I.e. one can see all files that will be synced. This might be the same as dropbox and a 'sync icon' but not necessarily. owncloud should indicate the files it will sync - ideally with a fancy status icon:)
Let me rephrase that »in my opinion, and only regarding the interface, this is very important«. What do you think @MTRichards?
I know it’s a big task etc. but currently users can never be sure if a specific file is up to date. You have to dig into the settings to find out. Especially if you sync custom folders it’s really difficult. And that is one of the 2 basic things a »sync client« should do: 1) sync and 2) give feedback on the sync state.
Hi @emmanuel099, of course your help would be really appreciated!
Regarding the API, we're not yet settled. We started with a socket based api because all we are doing has to be cross platform compatible (Linux, Mac and Windows). Your suggestions about the protocol sound pretty decent to me. Can we use a pipe char as a delimiter, as that is a not allowed char for file names? So yes, if you have concrete suggestions or patches for the API, just send it over.
Making a note on this item in particular - thinking about oC 7.
Sync overlay icons (that indicate file and folder sync status) in the desktop client are critical when we get rid of the shared folder. We can't remove the shared folder on the server without providing a visual display of whether the folders on the desktop (and, to be honest, on the server too) are shared with the user, by the user or are just plan old files the user owns - and their status syncing with the server.
@danimo The plan is that ownCloud 7 signals that as webdav property. Exactly as you said.
Do you have an idea how this property can be called?
Perhaps related to the read only flag?

Sorry, this is obviously not a dupe, reopen.

What file browser are you exactly talking about? Nautilus right? A plug-in would be needed, I guess...
Deltachaos commentedon Dec 25, 2012
I talk about Nautilus and the Windows Explorer

I just installed OC and this was the one thing that could be improved! Looking forward to it!

I wrote a small ms explorer extension to put icon overlay status on each file.
It works only on 64bit windows.

It's a trick until this feature will be added to the owncloud client.

I’d like to schedule this for 1.5 because it’s very important feedback. @danimo @dragotin what do you think?
karlitschek commentedon Aug 8, 2013
@jancborchardt This is an complex issue. We still need planing how to do that.
jancborchardt commentedon Aug 8, 2013
Yeah, I understand. I just want to make clear that interface-wise, this is the number 1 priority.

Just making sure we catch this. :)

danimo commentedon Apr 17, 2014
@MTRichards This depends on the server telling us whether a folder will be shared. Do we have that in OC7?
MTRichards commentedon Apr 17, 2014
I sure hope so, because if we don't we can't remove the shared folder!
danimo commentedon Apr 17, 2014
@MTRichards I mean we need signalling as a WebDAV property.
MTRichards commentedon Apr 17, 2014
I get that, and we can't be removing the "Shared" folder without it! How would you know what you are looking at on your desktop? What a mess!

I did some research on dav properties some time ago.
I will submit a pull request.

Yup, good call on that @MTRichards. Shared files and folders should also have an overlay similar to the sync status.
simonjwoolf commentedon Jun 30, 2014
Just adding a +1 for this feature. We're doing a corporate migration from Dropbox to Owncloud and this is the only really major omission.
Not having any feedback in the file browser, as to whether a file or folder is a) synced or b) up to date is a serious drawback.
Clearly this feature would need to be available in Mac, Win and Linux environments
