Sync album mobile on android
I am trying to understand how the "sync" of an android phone works with immich.
I have set a a template to save all folders / photos I upload but when it comes to the phone backup I reaad that it should be possible to sync the albums in the phone and htat new albums should be synced on the server and I dont see any of that happenining.
Here is the template i defined for the albums: {{y}}/{{#if album}}{{album}}{{else}}Other/{{y}}{{MM}}{{/if}}/{{filename}} is that blocking the system from generating the folders from android?
I did activate the beta sync feature. Should I take it down?
Is there anythting else I should be looking at?... thanks!

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.If you are using beta sync then album synching is not implemented yet. You can move back to the old sync for now
ok. let me check agian then! thanks!
now it works. the only problem I have now is when I delete images in the server and that were not in the correct album and I want them to be "re-sync" by the system. for immich those images were already uploaded and they cant be uploaded again to the right place. i tryed first the option sync albums in the backup settings on the mobile phone and that did not work.
