v6 no longer supports sync size limits. Please bring that back.

Expected behaviour

In v5 on MacOS, I was swamped by new folders that were automatically selected for synchronisation. Fortunately I could turn that off by setting the sync limit to 0 bytes.

In v6 this sync limit functionality is gone. So I’m left again with the situation that OwnCloud forces me to synchronise any new folder. That does not make sense. What is next: From the folders I did not select 1 is randomly selected every day? Owncloud decides for me what I will want to sync?

On top of that v6 also skipped virtual file system. I cannot find the option anymore.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set up account and sync only 1 folder

  2. Let it sync. Folder is synced nothing more

  3. Create a new folder with 10 TB (to show the point) and sync again. The new folder is being copied - although I never selected it.
