  Couldn't it work with something like:
  - creating a temp dir
  - symlinking or hardlinking the respective files into it
  - sync
  - delete links
  - copy remaining files (new in sync)
  - remove empty temp dir
 
 Possibly, but would I feel really dirty about doing it? Certainly yes.
 
 The nice thing about the sync process is that it's event-driven, you add a
 file in one of the synched locations, sync starts shortly after that. No
 polling for the local filesystem.
 
 Also, the other way round isn't addressed by it.
 
 If you (or anyone else) want to give it a try, be my guest... :)

As mentioned in my reply to Aaron in the Categories thread: We need to find 
a solution to make the folder and tag worlds compatible anyway, in order to be 
ready for the future when users seamlessly switch between the different Plasma 
shells.
This won't be easy, but we need something, because people won't give up folder 
hierarchies in the Desktop world anyway.

 I think, PA4 is not in a state , where we can handle it that strict. There
 is  at least one important app, that thinks in folders: owncloud. owncloud
 wants to sync folders!  It makes no sense, to sync the complete mer folder

 the folders, i have on my laptop and want to sync to the tablet via
 owncloud.
 
 There is probably no easy  way to solve it . Maybe there could be a tag
 sync  to owncloud which in combination with other tags syncs to folders
 on owncloud without creating folders in PA4. As I wrote, no easy way to get
 rid of foldes in PA4. Obviously files looks into folders an presents the
 conted in another way.

That struck me as well. I've tried to fix it some time ago, but it really is 
not that easy technically. The synching library and owncloud itself is folder-
based, changing that would need very intrusive changes to the system. I'm not 
in a position to do that.
