I’m getting a bunch of sync errors on my files. I suspect it’s because the file name is very long. On the other hand, Google’s Backup and Sync can handle it. It could also be because I have 2 files with very long file names that only differ at the very very end, probably after it has gone beyond Window’s file length limit. However, Google’s backup and sync handles it. The 2 file names are:

And the way Google drive syncs these 2 files is with the names:

So apparently Google backup and sync has an algorithm for shortening super long file names. However insynch seems to just fail in this case.
This is a bug, right?
