[Closed] Reuse configured account

[Artusamak]

Hi there, here is my issue.

I messed with my home directory and broke my insync installation.

My account wasn’t synchronized anymore so i restarted the Insync client to reconfigure it. When i do that i can’t set the path of my Drive to the value it was before.

Is there a way to avoid to have to redownload the whole Drive in another directory, i’d like to reconfigure my account to match the previous path.

Thanks.

since the “file compare” feature that will allow this use-case is not
yet available. It will be available in version 1.3 or 1.4. No ETA yet.
As
a workaround, you may use the selective sync feature to selectively
sync those frequently used files and merge your old Google Drive files
later once the “file compare” feature is already available.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
