Support arbitrary-folder two-way sync (Dropbox-like)

[andreasmuellerka]

Hi Internxt team,

I’d like to request a Linux/Ubuntu feature that is essential for making Internxt Drive viable for my daily workflow: Dropbox-style arbitrary folder sync.

Problem
On Ubuntu, the desktop client currently only supports syncing via the fixed Internxt sync directory / virtual drive model. There is no native way to select and continuously two-way sync any existing folder on my disk.

Why this matters / use case
I maintain a self-encrypted working folder on my local machine which I use every day.
I need that folder to be kept continuously and automatically synchronized with Internxt Drive in the background.

Workarounds like WebDAV/rclone are not acceptable for this use case because they add extra tooling, configuration, and operational burden. I’m explicitly looking for a simple native sync service without Docker or third-party layers.

Requested feature
Add the ability to sync arbitrary, user-chosen local folders on Linux/Ubuntu, comparable to Dropbox
Expected capabilities:

• User can sync any existing local folder to be synced (not just a mounted preset Internxt folder).
• True two-way continuous sync (local <-> cloud) for that folder.
• Runs natively on Ubuntu with a lightweight setup (no Docker, no external scripts).
• Preserves file structure, renames/moves, and deletion semantics consistently.
• Clear UI to manage synced folders (add/remove/pause/status).

This feature is a blocker for me adopting Internxt as my primary cloud storage on Ubuntu. I’d also be interested in testing a beta build for this if needed.

Thanks for considering!
