> 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…
