Dropbox provider detailed settings list

Enable this option to prevent Symfonium from accessing the server when not connected to Wi-Fi.

Try to download artists images and biography from online sources.

Enabling this option will cache all media images locally on your device after each sync. However, it can also use up storage space on your device and potentially drain your battery faster if you have a large library with many images. It’s recommended to use this option if you have enough storage space available on your device and don’t mind the potential battery drain. If you have limited storage or battery life, it may be better to disable this option.

Enabling this option will cache media files from selected libraries for offline usage after sync, allowing you to play your music even when you are not connected to the internet. However, this may consume a lot of storage and battery usage, so it is important to consider this before enabling this option.

Will use each songs thumbnail in list instead of the album ones. Useful for compilations if each songs have a different image. Will require more storage cache and slower syncs.

Ratings imported from media tags are normally considered as scraped ratings, enable this option to consider them user ratings.

You can select how Symfonium split the albums. Each selected option must be equals for songs to be part of the same album.

You can select the minimum duration for a song to help filtering unwanted media.

You can exclude sub folders from the sync to remove unwanted data.
