Abstract
Quite often rotki may inform users it has not uploaded the local DB to the rotki server due to a size discrepancy. And ask user to confirm they want to push it.
This is how rotki syncing works with the server. We just give a message as an fyi. Since the database is nothing but a blob of encrypted data.
We know nothing else about it apart from its size and last time of upload. We can't see what's in there. So out of abundance of caution we just do not upload automatically to the server if there is a size difference and ask for action from you.
The size discrepancies can happen for various reasons, as periodic tasks run underneath either adding more data or cleaning up data
Motivation
Some users have asked for the ability to automatically choose a strategy of uploading there via a setting and not to have to manually press force push whenever such a size discrepancy happens.
It's a bit less safe option as automatically overwriting data of bigger size can lead to loss of data if the local is an old DB from an older machine.
But if the users are aware of the dangers (say they only use one machine) then it's a positive quality of life change.
