I would also like to be able to sync with a local folder, and have the location remembered by the app so that it doesn't have to be selected each time.
This would make it much easier to work with local folders that are automatically synced by a third-party service (such as Syncthing, Box, or Sync) without having to code individual API support for each service in MobileSheets.
I imagine that this might be easy enough to implement that it could be done before the very large update planned for 3.10.0.

Hello,
i want so support this feature request.
@ Administrator: i'm using MobileSheets on my tablet since some months. Great software! I'm thinking about to buy the windows version, too.
But i was very surprised that syncthing via WebDav (e. g. Nextcloud) is not supported.
I'm sure, that the developers have a lot of work. But in 2025 WebDav should be a basic. I've read, that in version 3.10 it may be supported.
Can you give more exact info?
I will not buy the windows version, if it's not sure, that WebDav will be supported within this year.
Thanks.

Quite a lot of code is necessary to support any additional cloud service, and even more will be necessary to support a generic protocol/interface like webDAV. It's on my list, but I can't say exactly when it will be implemented, but I'd like for it to be added in the first half of the year. There's too many variables for me to say exactly when it will be implemented, as lots of different users are all asking for different things.

Would it take a lot of code to add the ability to sync to a local folder?

In theory, I can leverage the "Sync to a cloud folder" code and just add a local folder as one of the options, and then I just have to add some new methods to handle the file I/O for a local folder. The biggest problem is just dealing with the file permissions on Windows and iOS related to this (and Android for users that did not grant the all files access permission), but that's nothing that I haven't had to deal with before, so it shouldn't take too much extra code. So to answer your question, no, it's not nearly as much code and is probably something that I can support in the short term.
