It would be great if other folders for typical user data could be added to the sync folder toggles' list.

But can you give me more real life examples of other folders you would include/exclude?
(your question in issue #3)
At least everything in "documents" (including sub-folders). I understand that often, apps do not follow conventions in where they place their data, and to allow any folder seems an option too challanging - But all standard data folders are in the list, for audio, image, or video, even ringtones, notifications - while documents a s a "catch-most" for docs, pdfs, backups, etc. is not. I would rather place sub-folders for sync data there than in the folder for temporary "downloads".

Hi,
this is an interesting feature, but not so easy to implement.
Indeed we rely on android media store API, which provide easy media files management, but is not very convenient for "other" files, such as documents...

Yes without documents sync has some serious drawbacks.
Sub folders in documents i would like to sync daily. Music? Once a month if that.
Downloads? No. Almost never

It's almost like the api is the least helpful way

Btw my documents folder shows up as syncable. But since 90% of the files are text it syncs almost nothing.

You have the all files permission.. so....
