InstantUpload: Only when auto-sync data is enabled!

[gloschtla]

This app should not start uploading when connected to an untrusted public wifi network. Android lets me define, which wifi SSIDs shall trigger the auto-sync mode. This way prevents my passwords being sent via unencrypted WiFi.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #3142 (auto sync), #1260 (Grey-out auto upload options until enabled), #2691 (Instant Upload not syncing after re-enabling it), #30 (Nextcloud Sync), and #1898 (syncing problem).

Where can you define these "ssids" to only use auto-sync there?

Hopefully you have https set up on your server, so that any password is already secured, even when using an unencrypted wifi.

How do you measure a "trusted" private wifi network? With disabled encryption, there's always ways to intercept traffic, and hijack sessions.

The reasonable fix is rolling out https, and with Letsencrypt being widely available, there shouldn't be much of a reason not to do.

Instead of complicating UI, we should probably discourage setting up non-https connections in first place.

We already show "Secure connection unavailable." during initial connection setup, maybe this warning should be made much more prominent, encouraging owncloud owners to roll out ssl?
