Dropbox has a function, it can trigger synchronisation when you change your location. I would love any trigger to sync the app automatically without launching it manually all the time.

> Apps like Instapaper [http://blog.instapaper.com/post/24293729146](http://blog.instapaper.com/post/24293729146) and Dropbox&nbsp;use geofencing to trigger Sync when the user reaches certain locations. As a user you would setup a list of locations, then when the mobile devices enters that area Plex app will automatically start to Sync. &nbsp; Think it's something that could be&nbsp;implemented?&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
