[Feature request] Add option to "Store in subfolders based on year and month." #153

Problem
The backup/upload feature from Lespas just replicates the file structure exactly as it is from Android. Over a long period of time, this makes it hard to find photos easily on the nextcloud server (not on the phone). And requires organisation efforts.

Solution I'd like
In the official nextcloud app for Android, there is an option under auto-upload to "Use subfolders - Store in subfolders based on year and month".

When enabled, this option checks the dates that the photos were originally taken or files created on the phone, and uploads into subfolders structured by Years/Months in my base upload folder on server. Thus even older photos go to the right subfolder.

This organisation system makes it SO EASY to find exactly what I am looking for after years, without putting in ANY effort into either organising albums or searching for them.

Feature Requested
Add the same "Use subfolders" option to the upload configuration menu in les pas for each folder. Specifically for the Backup archive folder stored on server.

A new feature of managing archived files on server is under development. You will be able to view all your backup from all your devices by Les Pas in a chronological way.

That sounds helpful!

But again, is that not just on the lespas app that you would be able to view it in a chronological way?

My request is for an option to store the files in chronological folders so that they can be viewed and manually searched easily even on nextcloud web interface or desktop syncs etc. That being the whole purpose of a cloud backup!

Would you be open to considering something like that? :)
