I am afraid to act.
I work for a creative agency. 20+ people depend on a massive Google Drive multiple clients and years worth of projects. I am using Insync so I ca quickly move between files. I was clicking around and I believe I clicked under selective sync the all check box on and off. AND THEN trouble. MY GOAL: I want the entire GDrive onto my External Drive. I had this already working. Now I have over 6,000 Actions Required. AND I am afraid to act afraid they will delete all my files both locally and on GDrive. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE!!!

Check this fix here: New Insync version: 1.3.16
