Allow Camera Uploads to behave like Sync #279

Describe the feature you'd like

Camera Uploads allows automatic uploading of files and videos from the DCIM folder. However, when I delete a file on my phone or on my desktop, the file is not deleted on the other end. This is unfortunate, because I want the DCIM folder and the MEGA folder to be in sync.

Recently, the MEGA Android app started supporting Sync. Sync does delete the file from my phone when it is deleted on my desktop (and vice versa). However, if I disable Camera Uploads and then try Sync my DCIM folder with a MEGA folder, I receive a snackbar message indicating that this is not possible.

I would like to be able to make Camera Uploads behave like Sync. Either by (1) adding a toggle in the Camera Uploads settings for "Synchronise", or by (2) allowing Sync to select the DCIM folder (and then disabling the Camera Uploads feature, to prevent conflicts).

Additional context

I want to synchronise deletions because I manage my photos on my desktop. Every now and then, I look through my photos, and delete photos that are no longer interesting (e.g. a photo of a restaurant menu which I sent to friends), move them into folders by category (e.g. one for the year 2023, or one for a specific holiday). Unfortunately, these deletions/moves are not sent back to my phone, so my phone still has these uninteresting and wrongly categorised photos displayed in my gallery. The ability to sync my photos would be great!

Thank you very much, @FWDekker, for your valuable suggestions.
The DCIM folder is a special directory on the phone, and the MEGA app handles it differently from other folders.
We will take this requirement into consideration for our roadmap.
