Make an Android's "cloud media" syncing, basically it gonna improve syncing system by allowing to work at background for media backup

Unfortunately this is not possible yet: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/cloud-media-provider#eligibility

Android is running a pilot program to allow OEM-nominated apps to become cloud media providers. Only apps nominated by OEMs are eligible to participate in this program to become a cloud media provider for Android at this time.

I believe it is possible. Ente needs to implement the CloudMediaProvider API and find an OEM to team up with so it would nominate Ente to be on the Google cloud providers list.
That would be an huge improvement for Android integration.

I may be off subject... rereading the initial post, it doesn't seem to be about Ente being selectable as Android multimedia cloud provider ^
