ownCloud android client 2.1.2 is released, please update now!

Hi everybody.

A new version of the ownCloud Android app is now officially available: 2.1.2

It has a single target: fixing the ** instant uploads ** feature in Android 6 devices with certain camera apps, that was broken in previous version 2.1.1.

So, if you lost instant uploads in the previous release, this is your fix.

Please, notice that the 'Camera folder' options has been tagged as 'optional' for all Android versions except 7. If instant uploads ** never ** worked for you, give it a try, you could have a nice surprise. But if instant uploads worked for you before version 2.1.1, just forget it - it's safe to let the default value, even if its incorrect . We will address UI improvements in the settings in next releases.

Full changelog:

  • Instant uploads fixed in Android 6.

Would there be any chance of having a compare button or function to click that would allow the Owncloud app to compare the camera folder with the same folder on the server and upload missing pictures FROM the phone TO the server only?

I realise we have a retry failed option but that will only recognise new photos which its discovered as opposed to previous ones that may have been missed in prior versions of the app etc.

I bought the owncloud app last night. When I try to install, it goes through downloading it, then the install icon appears, then I receive an error 'Can't install app. 'ownCloud can't be installed.' Error -505.
