Music file syncing to e cloud cannot be turned off

Music files always sync to e cloud

Summary

I downloaded some mp3 files with the Amazon Music app which saved them to the device's /Music folder. This were then uploaded to my e cloud (and filled my available space, oops). In Settings -> Accounts -> /e/ there is no option to turn off syncing of Music files. I tried turning off Pictures and videos to see if music was somehow also included but the music files are still uploading. Under the Accounts -> Nextcloud settings Files option is set to "Sync is OFF".

Steps to reproduce

Save some music files into the device's root /Music folder. They will then start uploading to your https://drive.ecloud.global/apps/files

What is the current behavior?

Files are synced to the /e/ cloud and there does not seem to be an option to turn this syncing off for Music files.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Be able to somehow exclude Music files from syncing to the cloud.

Possible fixes

May need to add an option in the Accounts -> /e/ for "Music" and backend logic for syncing the /Music folder.
