How to get actual file sync via Nextcloud on android? (feddit.de)

Hello,

I've installed Nextcloud on Android and was able to make my password manager app load and save its data to a file in my Nextcloud.

But a few weeks later, I turned off the server Nextcloud is running on. Surprisingly, the password manager was not able to load the file with the passwords anymore.

On my desktop PC, all files are actually synchronized. They exist in the Nextcloud and locally. On Android, it seems like nothing is stored on the device and everything is just loaded from the server directly.

What's the best way to set it up like I have done it on my desktop device, so that I can still access the files when the server is down?

So I need to create a sub folder and synchronize that and just can't "synchronize the whole thing at once"?

Yes, it seems so. I don't use that feature on my phone, because I don't need it, but it seems that this is the only way.
