[Improvement] Improve and subdivide categories to be synced between phones and cloud

(Issue title)

[Improvement] Improve and subdivide categories to be synced between phones and cloud

Summary

On the phone I can chose under Account settings what data/settings from my phone I want to have synced with the e-cloud. It would be make sese to have on the cloud the same categories to chose from for selection/deselection as they appear in the cloud-space. That means for instance to have separate options to tick/untick pics/music/movies or to tick/untick ringtones as well. th current state makes less sense from user perspective.

Steps to reproduce

Phone: Settings > Users & accounts > myemail@e.email > Account Sync

Cloud: homescreen just after login (right side of the screen)

What is the current behavior?

On the phone

  • the categories Pictures and videos can only be selected/deselected together
  • Music is not mentioned
  • Photos do not appear as a separate category as they appear in the cloud
  • Ringtones do not appear as a separate category as they appear in the cloud
  • Documents do not appear as a separate category as they appear in the cloud
  • Contacts have a separate account but Address books can be ticked/unticked here, why?

What is the expected correct behavior?

On the device: select/deselected

  • Document (select/deselected separately)

  • Movies (select/deselected separately)

  • Music (select/deselected separately)

  • Notes (select/deselected separately)

  • Photos (select/deselected separately)

  • Podcasts (select/deselected separately)

  • Ringtones (select/deselected separately)

  • Contacts (select/deselected separately)

  • Email (select/deselected separately) - better call it "Mail (/e/-Email)"

  • Tasks (select/deselected separately)

  • (other) Application Settings (select/deselected separately)
