Just tested that and uh, yeah, what the hell? Not something my workflows need, but that's a shocking oversight considering damn near everything else 100% does that.
Yeah I was just so confused when I found out that this isn't possible. Like, it's a file hosting and sync-ing application. That's like absolute basics. It isn't even "just" an open source project any more, there's a company behind this product now. I am the last person to be angry about an open source project, run by a volunteer or three, not being feature complete.
For what it's worth I think it works in the iOS version of the app (possibly always has?). But that's doesn't exactly help me either.
Honestly it feels like they're trying to get away from being just a file sync platform, and are pushing for more corpo feature sets to compete with gsuite or O365.
Which I mean is great: that's exactly what I needed and why I use it - it let me ditch almost all of my Google services and move it all to selfhosted.
But I bet it also causes incentives to prioritize fixes and features that are focused on that, and pushes stuff like 'make the android sync app work like every other file sync app in history' to the bottom of the list.
