improve rest/db/status to get idle status of remote device & folder

Is there a way to get the “status” of a folder on a specific device ? (rest/db/status with deviceID and folderID). This could be every useful and I saw quite a few times folks asked for this.

current rest/db/status only tells “this device” is “idle/up to date”, but it can still be uploading to other device(s). quite often we want to make sure that “this device” has “uploaded” all data needed from another device.

If it is not available I would suggest this api improvement.

Thanks a lot for the excellent effort

We don’t know what another device does, really. We can see if they download from us or we download from them, but that’s pretty much it.

with current API or whatever, is it possible to tell “another device”(deviceID_B) is downloading from “us” (this device, deviceID_A)? if so, how to do that ?

I saw you mentioned in another post “suggesting give a ‘uploading’ from ‘this’ device” as a state — I couldn’t remember the great details. but if this could be provided, it is also a great help.

Thanks a lot for the great effort

Only indirectly, by looking at the transfer rates.
