On a regular system, a reasonable simplifying assumption is that all the
|
||
|
|
files in the folder will be synced to the system. A user might want to
|
||
|
|
disable syncing of some subdirectories, for eg, archived files. But in
|
||
|
|
general, things are simpler to understand and implement if all files sync.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But, an Android gadget probably cannot hold all a user's files. Indeed,
|
||
|
|
it's likely that old files will be aggressively dropped from the Android
|
||
|
|
after syncing to elsewhere, in order to keep enough free space on it for
|
||
|
|
new files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There needs to be a way for the user to browse files not on the gadget and
|
||
|
|
request they be transferred to it. This could be done as a browser in the
|
||
|
|
web app, or using a subdirectory full of placeholder files (not symlinks;
|
||
|
|
see [[Android]]) that start transfer of the real file when accessed.
