Automated upload of files from selected folders out of local OC folder #744

Hi,

just an idea:
My whatsapp folder is growing and growing and consuming lots of (rare) memory.
So the idea is to extend the instantupload to watch any folder that we specify.

With this all whatsapp images/videos will automatically be uploaded to owncloud. When I have no memory left I can go to owncloud and say "delete local files" on the whatsapp folder.
(And via root explorer I can delete all folders/images in /data/whatsapp).

Later it would be great if the files are not copied but remain on the original storage path.
Then it would be possible to delete the whatsapp images from within owncloud app, which would be a great benefit for all users that do not have root or do not know that files are duplicated (but this is another issue, that already exists: #346 ).

What do you think? Or do you have a better idea to solve this?
