Upgrade Storage"Sync every X min" option
Apologies if this is redundant with another post. I tried searching multiple times but the search engine was stuck thinking for hours each time so I gave up .....
Just wanted to make a suggestion to include an option for timed syncing in the next release (i.e., sync every 5 min, every 15 min, every hour, etc). This would be enormously helpful as my computer really doesn't like syncing automatically and I am not organized enough to remember to sync every time I'm about to leave my desk.
Several years ago I stopped syncing automatically because it was eating up an enormous amount of memory on my computer. I occassionally sync manually but mostly use another mechanism for library back up. But, now I'm using Zotpad (love the most recent version) and really need to sync regularly to get the full benefit of the app. I turned auto sync back on and sure enough it is constantly trying to sync and killing my comptuer. This could be somewhat alleviated if I had an option to sync every once and a while instead of every single time I add or change a file.

To be clear, do you mean that the sync arrow is constantly spinning? If so, what does it say when you hover over it?
If I could choose to sync every 15 min for example, then I could make a series of changes that say take 5-10 min and the software would then sync when I'm done. I realize this may not be optimal for everyone but if you give folks an option of syncing automatically versus after a timed period versus manual sync people could choose the option that works best for them.
On a related note, I am fairly certain I synced after I made my most recent change and if not, I only added 1-2 references since syncing. When I synced to get the debug ID just now though, it had >2900 items to sync. I don't get it .... Took over 10 min to complete.
I'll try to reproduce and fix the bug that's causing the slowdown in this case.
