We currently have the ability to toggle enable/disable sync over cellular networks, but we have no such control over wifi. It would be nice to have more granular control over sync options. We should be able to sync when our devices sees the server as “Nearby”, but disable sync when it is “Remote”. It is nice that mobile clients can still notify the server what has been watched remotely, but not everyone necessarily wants to pull transcoded media across every network to which they connect. For people with limited outbound speeds on home networks, this may also prevent unnecessary network saturation for other family members. ---

Same problems here. Like to configure “Sync only when nearby” on my clients. ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@\[Feature Request\] Option to Sync only when on local server network](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-option-to-sync-only-when-on-local-server-network/229980): > > Is there a way to limit Syncing to when the server is discovered to be local? I understand there is a toggle to enable/disable cellular sync, but I am asking specifically to only sync when on Wifi AND on the local network. The use case is that my upload at home is terrible, and the connection is metered. I would like to be able to queue up some conversions remotely, and have them download only when I get home. The other common use case is that I will set off a bunch of conversions when at home… ---
