"Adopt" a Google Drive folder

It would be great if it were possible to “adopt” a root Google Drive folder when freshly (re)installing Insync. What I mean by this is, e.g., if I had the official Google Drive app installed on my PC and I decide to switch to Insync, Insync should allow a non-empty folder as the root folder and not sync files that are already there and identical (or with more recent time stamp) to the ones in the Cloud. CrashPlan can do that and they call it “adopting” a PC.

@Vladimir_Oka hello! This is now available with version 1.3. You may test the beta version here:

Let me know if this works for you. Tell us how it goes…

Thanks. I’ll give it a spin next time I need to do something like that. This time around I already cleared the folder and let Insync re-download the lot.

@Vladimir_Oka Thank you and have a wonderful day!
