+ *
+ * This method helps to keep linked local copies of the files when the app is uninstalled, and then
+ * reinstalled in the device. OR after the cache of the app was deleted in system settings.
+ *
+ * The method is assuming that all the local changes in the file where synchronized in the past. This is dangerous,
+ * but assuming the contrary could lead to massive unnecessary synchronizations of downloaded file after deleting
+ * the app cache.
+ *
+ * This should be changed in the near future to avoid any chance of data loss, but we need to add some options
+ * to limit hard automatic synchronizations to wifi, unless the user wants otherwise.
+ *
+ * @param file File to associate a possible 'lost' local file.
+ * @param account Account holding file.
