  Honest question: what would you do if there was a proper Linux phone to not have this problem? Fork and maintain your own nextcloud client?

    There are so maby different solutions for this on Linux. Syncing folders and backups in general is an old problem with many, many approaches

    Use Nextcloud’s desktop client? Or the cli client with cron/systemd timers. Or any old webdav client.

        Yes, that’s the whole point of Linux on a phone. The ability to easily use existing software. The app already has small screens so using it on a phone should be possible without any trouble.
