Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing sync mechanism in the Nextcloud Android app, focusing on the background sync service and how manual sync is triggered. Investigate how to detect WiFi network changes and time conditions. Look at the 'when connected to WiFi' and 'time of day' scheduling patterns used in other Android apps. Check if there are existing libraries for job scheduling (e.g., WorkManager) that can be utilized.
