Thanks. So, if I am running the latest versions on MMX Windows:

• Version: 1.7.0-Beta.1 64-bit
• Built on: Dec 1 2023 08:36:46
• Database version: 19 (aes128cbc)

And MMX Android:
• Version 2023.12.01 (1002)

Should I be using ammx-2023.12.01-release.apk?

exactly.
And thank you for trying both desktop v1.7 and android v2023.12.01

Hello so I'm trying to use this and I have a couple of questions:

1) I saw an earlier comment that said upon opening the android app you have to select synchronize to pull the latest file from your cloud server. What happens if this is forgotten and I begin making edits, then synchronize? Will that create a conflict? If this is all true then it seems like a major problem and something that should automated (sync upon opening app and/or switching back to the app)

2) I also saw several posts stating that access owncloud/nextcloud, you click open database, then "other", then "navigate to the one drive". When I select open, on Android mmex, it just opens to my file explorer. There is nothing that says other. I could from my file explorer, navigate to nextcloud (see picture attached) and my database, and I've done this and it brings me back to the main select a database screen with no changes and no error message.

Would appreciate some guidance or answers to the above two questions points of discussion. Thank you!

Android 13
Pixel 4a
Calyxos 4.15.0
Microg disabled
Apk installed via github "ammx-2023.12.01-release.apk"

Perhaps this will answer your questions: viewtopic.php?p=24420#p24420

Yes that confirms everything that I said regarding having to synchronize it whenever you open it and before you close it. Which is a showstopper for me as that is just begging for conflicts or lost data. Its.amatter of when not if.

It's instructions for how to open it are the same that I described and was unable to figure out. Mainly selection "other". My screenshot shows there is no "other" to choose.

This latest release says it supports nextcloud but I don't see how that's the case. I appreciate the efforts nonetheless. If this would have fit what I was looking for, I would have surely donated as I've been waiting for an open source budget tool that can host the database on a self hosted solution like nextcloud, that both my spouse and I can access and modify.

May I have your owncloud/nextcloud app version in your android phone? Just wanted to understand whether they support android’s SAF

Nextcloud 3.26.0 from fdroid.

So I just realized that I CAN open it now. I don't know why it was failing before but it works now.

But is it still true that whenever you reopen the app you have to:

Reopen the database even if it's already open
Manually Synchronize before editing
Manually synchronizing when done editing

?

in terms of synchronization, your description is true.
As the app is mainly working on local copy to avoid conflicts, we are leveraging cloud storage for basic data synchronization across different devices and platforms. it just works but not perfect due to cloud storage limation.
