Feature description

Add a new extension to the default exclude sync list.

Proposed solution

Add the .psec extension to the default extension exclude list.
This will prevent files with such an extension from being synced.

Alternative solutions you considered

Adapt Infinite Scale that files with such an extension will not be processable by the API.

Additional context

Files with the psec extension are necessary for password protected folders.

1. See the description in the PPF's readme for details how PPF works and for impacts and possible solutions inside the webUI.

2. Because of the way it got implemented, there are some things that can be potential usability issues with likely major bad user experiences.

   1. First there is the deletion issue (PPF Location) which can be mitigated by following the suggested solution.
   2. Second there is the moving/renaming issue which also can be mitigated following the PPF Location suggestion.

   But those mitigations only work as long the users stays in the webUI. Atm where sync apps are involved, these mitigations can and - I strongly believe - will be an issue that are a major cause for bad user experience. The referenced readme tells the story and you only need to imagine some PPF usecases plus creative users playing around, read it carefully!

There are two possible solutions, which can also be done in parallel:

• A short term fix that should consistently be added into all sync apps by disallowing any sync of files having the psec extension. This would reduce the issue to the webUI in a very short timeframe.
• A longterm and consistent fix in the ocis backend that prevents psync files passing the API except the webUI.

Notes:

• ocis 7.1 will be released in the first week of March (next week), any change will not make it in.
• The next ocis release that will be set productive is min +6m to go
• The next Desktop/Android app release is in March
• An update for iOS can be made quickly
