Title: Use checksum on files to evaluate if the file needs to be up-/downloaded
Category: Sync process
Link to Central topic (and/or GitHub issue if applicable): https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/3422
Quick summary of the use case: You want to sync a larger amount of data which is already on the client / have been copied manually without actually downloading it through the slow sync process or slow network connection.
Problem it solves / why you think this is important: There is a demand for this feature. Useful for provisioning of new clients. Even nice if only available on local storage and "known" (=was already transferred once through owncloud when the checksum was build) files on external storage.
