Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 34.0.1

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Previously it was possible to initiate a syncronization of all folders in the system tray. Now, since 34.0.0, this option is behind another two clicks. In OneDrive, for example, it is even more harder as you have to force stop and re-enable syncronization.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add "Syncronize all" to the root tray menu.

Well, yes and no. This is nice, but the same bad design then OneDrive has. An "Syncronize all" is much appreciated.

To be honest, this is not really required in Nextcloud due to instant sync (only required for troubleshooting), but from OneDrive, e.g., everyone in our Company hate that "Pause"->"Resume" workflow, just to initiate a sync. Nextcloud already has this option, but hidden today.

And now it's not really much easier in NC. You have to open the try menu, then go to your account, to go "More activities" and then you have the "sync now" button there.

It'd really make sense to also have "Sync now" beside "Pause/Resume all", in my opinion. Just can't explain it better today, my brain is fucked. 🙈

Hi,
correct me if I am wrong, but in the old user tray menu there was only pause/restart.
the sync now button is in the activity listing (which moved to the separate dialog - but is not one more hover+click away).
This is what you mean, correct?

[Pilzinsel64]

Yes, exactly. This. :)

Before: Click tray icon -> Sync now
Now: Click try icon -> Click account -> Click more activitirs-> Sync now -> Close window
My request: Click tray icon -> Sync now
