The above example imports files from the /sdcard/DCIM directory of the
Android device, so it will only import photos and videos, not other files.
If you wanted to import everything, you could instead use
"androiddirectory=/sdcard".
The above example syncs with the /sdcard directory of the
Android device. That can be a lot of files, so you may want a more
limited directory. See the sample workflows below for some more examples.

Finally, you may want to configure a preferred content expression for the
remote. That will limit both what is exported to it, and what is imported
from it. If you want to fully sync all files, you don't need to do this.
