Research direction
Review the existing sync mechanism in the Nextcloud Android app (e.g., SyncService, BackgroundJobManager). Check for use of Android's AlarmManager or WorkManager for scheduling tasks. Propose a feature that allows users to set conditions such as time of day or WiFi connection. Look into the SettingsActivity and related preference files for UI integration. Discuss with maintainers about the desired scope of 'all possible combinations' to define a minimal viable implementation.
